Baltimore Product Liability Lawyer

Product Injury Claims

Individuals in Maryland and all fifty states who are harmed by faulty products have the right to make a claim against the manufacturer. Nearly 30 million injuries have resulted from defective consumer products and the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission reports that there are 200-300 product recalls each year.

Types of Dangerous Products

Any product used by a consumer can be defective. Some examples of unsafe products include:

  • dangerous household items
  • roundup
  • propane gas grills
  • extension cords and electrical items
  • unsafe toys
  • faulty automobile design
  • car and truck gas tank explosions
  • sport-utility vehicle rollovers
  • defective car/SUV tires
  • airbag injuries
  • child seat failures
  • defective blood products
  • dangerous food/candy
  • food borne illness (salmonella, E-coli)
  • recalled drugs (Vioxx, Accutane, etc.)

Manufacturers have been found negligent as a result of placing improper warning labels on household and commercial products. Steve is currently representing a worker who sustained second and third degree chemical burns while using a cleaning product that spilled on her. The product label failed to warn of the potential danger of the product should it come in contact with skin, and the proper use of the product.
