While the Consumer Product Safety Commission has the responsibility of monitoring the safety of the products we bring into our homes, items that are dangerous or defective continue to injure or kill thousands of people each year. Product recalls help alert consumers about products with known dangers. Unfortunately, for many people, the recall comes too late.
If a recalled product has injured you or a loved one, contact the attorneys of Ginsberg & O’Connor, P.C., in Mount Laurel, New Jersey. Since 1992, our lawyers have helped hundreds of injured people obtain the compensation they need to move on with their lives. We handle product liability cases throughout New Jersey.
Holding Manufacturers Accountable
Manufacturers have a duty to produce products that are safe and free of defects that could harm consumers. If a product poses inherent dangers, the manufacturer must include appropriate warnings. If a manufacturer fails to do so, and you are injured as a result, the manufacturer, distributor, and store that sold the product may be liable.
The Consumer Product Safety Commission recalls millions of products from store shelves each year because they have harmed consumers or pose a potential hazard. The following are examples of recalled products:
- Children’s toys that contain lead, dangerous chemicals, or choking hazards
- Cribs and bedding that can cause suffocation to infants
- Lamps and shades with cords that present strangulation risks
- Appliances that catch fire or cause electrocution
- Defective brakes, batteries, tires, and other auto components
