IMPORTANT: If you were injured by a suspected product defect, it is critical that you keep and safely store the product in order to maintain the integrity of your case.
What Is a Defective Product?
Legally, a defective product is more than just a product that doesn’t work. It’s also not simply a product that causes you injury while using it. For a product liability claim to be valid, the product must be designed, manufactured, and/or distributed in a negligent fashion that results in injury. It fails to pass established safety standards.
Virtually any product can be the subject of a product liability lawsuit, including but not limited to:
- Medications and medical devices
- Vehicles and their component parts
- Pesticides, fertilizers, herbicides, and other household chemicals
- Toys
- Tools
- Household appliances
Depending on the nature of the defect and how it is used, many different outcomes can occur when using a defective product. These range from serious bodily injury to the development of chronic disease, and even death.
Who Is Liable for Defective Products?
Depending on the circumstances of the defect, multiple parties can be held liable for your injuries. These include the manufacturer or designer of the product and/or its component parts, the company that packed the product, and/or the retailer or wholesaler that sold you the product.
Negligence can take many forms in defective product cases, including:
- Failure to warn consumers about hazards while using the product
- Failure to test and inspect the product for defects
- Failure to correct defects during the design and manufacturing stage
Companies that create and distribute products care about their profits, not people. Johnson & Biscone, P.A. is a people-focused law firm. We investigate your product liability case and pursue full compensation for injuries you sustained as a result of a defect. We also represent families in wrongful death actions stemming from fatal product defects.

- Alzheimer’s disease

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I Sue If I Was Injured by a Product I Used Incorrectly?
