Product Design and Manufacturing Defects

A defective product is one that is unreasonably dangerous for its intended use. Determining whether a product is “unreasonably” dangerous, therefore, is one of the key aspects of a product liability cases. These defects can be the result of errors in design or manufacturing.

At Ellis Law, our firm will represent clients in product liability cases involving, but not limited to:

• Industrial equipment and machinery
• Automobiles/Truck tires
• Space heaters
• Construction equipment
• Play pens
• Toys and playground equipment
• Medical devices and equipment
• Prosthetic devices
• Prescription drugs
• Electronics
• Other household items and more

One major aspect of product liability cases involves warnings, or the lack thereof, and how that may have contributed to the accidents. For instance, a prescription drug may have side effects that are not considered unreasonable by the FDA, but if the drug company does not warn potential users of the side effects, injuries may occur and the drug company may be held liable.

The following are examples of the types of lawsuits we handle for our clients:

• Yamaha Rhino (ATV Rollover Lawsuits) – These vehicles may pose serious and life threatening risks to both drivers and passengers.
• Hernia Patch Danger (Kugel Mesh) – The Bard, Composix and Kugel Mesh Patch are all used to repair ventral (incisional) hernias. Incisional hernias are usually caused by thinning or stretching of scar tissue that forms after surgery. A hernia occurs when part of an internal organ pushes through an opening in the organ’s wall and often presents itself as a painful lump in the abdomen or groin.
• Pain Patch Recall – Containing the highly potent drug fentanyl, pain patches have been recalled because of a manufacturing defect that could result in fatal overdoses.
