When you purchase a product, you pay not only for the good itself, but for the underlying costs of design, engineering, testing and inspection. You have no choice but to trust that the manufacturer diligently performed these functions to ensure your safety when using its product. No one should pay hard-earned money for an unsafe or defective product that causes injury.
At Eisenberg & Baum, LLP, our New York product liability lawyers are committed to holding manufacturers responsible for defective products that injure consumers or workers. People should never have to suffer injuries from an unsafe product, but when they do, the manufacturers must be held accountable for allowing the unsafe product to land in the hands of the consumer.
When a manufacturer learns that its product presents a danger to consumers or users, it typically has three choices:
The manufacturer usually makes its decision on a financial basis, not based on the consumer’s likelihood of injury or death. If a manufacturer calculates the cost of a recall to greatly outweigh the expense of litigating a handful of wrongful death cases caused by its product, it will often leave its product on the market, threatening the safety of its own consumers.
Manufacturers are strictly liable for the products they place in the market. However, holding a manufacturer liable for an unsafe or dangerous product is not easy, even when it has already issued a recall.
To build the strongest case possible, product liability lawyers must gather all available data about the product and injured consumers. It requires intensive research to do this correctly; it will likely require the attorney to legally request manufacturer documents. Our attorneys are skilled at conducting such inquiries and will not back down to huge corporations.
