Almost anything may be made with a defect. Some of the most common things that can cause us harm due to a defect include the following:

• Automobiles
• Food
• Toys
• Household Appliances
• Medication

Each year in the United States, there are approximately 22,000 deaths and over 29 million injuries related to product liability or defects. Additionally, many products are recalled each year when manufacturers realize an error exists. Unfortunately, a product recall may happen once a personal injury has already occurred. For example, let's say a particular food was recalled due to an undeclared allergen. Right before it was recalled, someone in Philadelphia who is highly allergic to the undeclared allergen consumes a large amount of this food and becomes very sick. The individual ate this food not knowing they would get sick from it, due to the fact it did not list the ingredient that they are allergic to. If something similar happened to you, contact our Philadelphia Personal Injury Lawyers today.

When it comes to defective products, there are three main types of defects: design defects, manufacturing defects, and marketing defects. Design defects are defects that existed in the product before it was even created; simply put, the overall design had flaws. Manufacturing defects are defects that occur while the product is being made. Marketing defects occur when a product is misrepresented in such a way that it causes harm to someone. For example, a product that does not have any flaws but contains incorrect instructions - therefore making it dangerous - can be considered to have a marketing defect. Also, a food product with an undeclared allergen (such as the example listed above) can also be considered to have a marketing defect. If you or someone you know has suffered from a design, manufacturing, or marketing defect, contact our Philadelphia Personal Injury Lawyers today.
