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.

Types of product defects

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.

Talcum Powder & Ovarian Cancer

Studies show significantly higher risk of ovarian cancer (20-30% higher, according to a study by the American Association for Cancer Research) in women who use talcum powder as a feminine hygiene product. Johnson & Johnson, the manufacturer of a leading brand of baby powder, has been the subject of several class-action lawsuits.

  • Bloating
  • Constipation, diarrhea, and other changes in bowel habits
  • Frequent urination
  • Unexplained weight gain or weight loss

If you regularly use talcum powder as part of your feminine hygiene, you may be at risk of ovarian cancer. If you have been diagnosed with ovarian cancer, Johnson & Biscone, P.A. will discuss your case for free, including your eligibility for damages.

Roundup Cancer Lawsuits

Roundup is the world’s most common weed killer. Its main ingredient is gyphosphate, a substance identified as a “probable human carcinogen” by the World Health Organization. Roundup isn’t just used on lawns; the herbicide is also used on commercial crops.

Glyphosphate is linked to non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma, as well as a host of other health issues, including:

  • Alzheimer’s disease
  • Multiple sclerosis
  • Parkinson’s disease
  • Reproductive and fertility issues
  • Birth defects
  • Chronic kidney disease
  • Respiratory illness
  • Other cancers, including brain and breast
