Trusted Recalled Product Lawyer – Birmingham, AL
Every year, products are recalled en masse by manufacturers due to defections and other issues with the product. Recalls happen in a wide range of industries, including consumer products, automotive, food, and more.
American manufacturers have a moral and legal duty to ensure the safety of the products they put on the market, and the federal government works to protect consumers through a few agencies. If there is an issue with a product that’s already reached the market, manufacturers have a legal responsibility to properly warn consumers of potential safety risks and promptly recall the product. Failure to do so may lead to consumer injury or death, at which point consumers may pursue compensations to cover damages.
Our attorneys at Marsh | Rickard | Bryan, LLC have extensive experience in product liability and product recall. If you’ve suffered an injury from a recalled product, contact our Birmingham, AL defective recalled product lawyer today to discuss your case.
What Is A Product Recall?
A product recall does not automatically lead to lawsuits. A national product recall is when a company or safety agency like the Consumer Protection Agency (CPA) or Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) recommends that consumers return a product to the manufacturer due to a problem with the product.
When consumers and families face potential injury from products, including those that pose fire, electrical, chemical, and/or mechanical hazards, a recall may be issued. Some of the most common hazards that lead to product recalls include:
- Fire and burns
- Choking, suffocation, and strangulation
- Laceration
- Falling
- Electrocution
- Poisoning
- Being trapped
- Drowning
- Car accidents
While product liability law holds manufacturers responsible for many injuries directly tied to defective or faulty products, a recall does not automatically trigger a lawsuit. You must pursue legal action to obtain compensation for your losses if you’ve been injured by a product included in a recall.
