Defective & Harmful Products

When you purchase a product, from a car to a kitchen appliance, you have a right to expect that it is safe for its intended use. Unfortunately, thousands of people are injured each year by defective and dangerous products placed into the stream of commerce by negligent corporations. Product liability law allows consumers to hold designers, manufacturers, and distributors accountable. The attorneys at Stout & Heuke have the litigation experience to take on large corporations and fight for consumers harmed by corporate greed and negligence.

Three Types of Product Defects

A product can be defective in one of three ways, and our firm investigates all angles:

  • Design Defect: The product’s core design is inherently unsafe, making every unit a potential hazard (e.g., an SUV prone to rollovers).
  • Manufacturing Defect: A flaw occurred during production, making a specific unit or batch dangerous (e.g., a contaminated batch of medicine).
  • Failure to Warn (Marketing Defect): The product was sold without adequate instructions or clear warnings about non-obvious dangers (e.g., a power tool without proper safety guards or warnings).

We Take on Complex Cases

Our firm has the resources to litigate against powerful corporate defendants in cases involving:

  • Defective Auto Parts: Faulty airbags, tires, brakes, and ignition switches.
  • Dangerous Pharmaceuticals & Medical Devices: Defective hip implants, hernia mesh, and harmful prescription drugs.
  • Unsafe Consumer Products: Flammable clothing, hazardous children’s toys, and exploding e-cigarettes.
