We leverage our deep understanding of product liability cases to hold negligent manufacturers accountable and secure the compensation our clients deserve.
The Product Recall Process
A product recall occurs when a manufacturer or government agency removes a product from the market due to safety issues. Recalls can involve a variety of products, including:
- Consumer goods: Electronics, household items, children’s products
- Medications: Prescription and over-the-counter drugs
- Vehicles: Defective brakes, airbags, or engine problems
- Food products: Contaminated or mislabeled items
Regulatory bodies such as the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), and Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) oversee these recalls to protect the public. However, it’s important to note that a recall does not automatically compensate victims who have been injured by the product.
When Legal Action Is Warranted
If a recalled product has caused you injury, you may have grounds for a defective product lawsuit. A legal claim may be viable if:
- The product had a design flaw, manufacturing defect, or inadequate warning labels.
- The defect directly caused in your injury.
- The manufacturer failed to promptly warn the public about the defect.
In Oklahoma, you generally have two years from the date of injury to file a product liability lawsuit.
The Importance of Evidence
Evidence is crucial in defective product cases. Essential documentation includes:
- Medical records linking your injuries to the product
- Reports from regulatory agencies detailing the defect
- Photos or videos of the product and the damage it caused
