Defective Products and How to Deal With Them
(firmenpresse) - LONDON, UNITED KINGDOM -- (Marketwire) -- 10/01/12 -- Defective Products
Over the years people have accumulated more and more possessions. If you have bought a product and that product causes you harm then you may be entitled to compensation and could help. These products are known as defective products and can cause injury to people. All products that are sold must be safe for the consumer.
What is a Defective Product?
Defective products have recently been making national news. Women who have had PIP breast implants and whose implants have ruptured are currently using personal injury firms to make claims against the suppliers.
Other common injuries include skin blemishes caused by contaminated cosmetic products, pushchairs collapsing wrongly and breaking fingers, burns caused by hair styling equipment malfunctioning, and unsafe electrical appliances electrocuting the user.
Everything from food products to building products can be defective and can cause serious harm.
There are generally two types of defective products. These are:
If you have been injured as a result of a defective product, you can make a claim for personal injury compensation as a result of a breach of contract or under Consumer Protection legislation.
Pursuing a personal injury claim is open to everyone as a remedy for a defective product that has caused the individual damage. It is necessary to prove fault for your claim to be successful and typically there are two types of fault when dealing with defective products; manufacturing defects and design defects. A manufacturing defect is where the problem was created when the product was being assembled and a design defect is that regardless of how the product was assembled it was designed in an unsafe way.
A design defect is more complicated as there is consideration to the cost of the product and whether the danger is out of proportion with the social benefits. Consequently one hundred percent safety is never attainable, particularly when considering the manufacturers costs. Therefore the product must be as safe as is reasonably possible.
First Personal Injury pride themselves on offering a professional service to those who had been unfairly injured by defective products. If you have bought a product that has caused you or somebody you know harm then please contact First Personal Injury for professional advice.
