Walnut Creek Defective Design Lawyers

Design Defect

When you buy a product of any kind, you are entirely within your rights to expect that the product is free of defects and is safe to use. As you know, this is not always the case and design defects and other types of defects hurt and kill thousands of people every year. In fact, the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission reports that unsafe or defective products cause 21,400 deaths every year and result in an estimated 29.4 million injuries. Design defects make a product dangerous even before it is manufactured and make the product inherently unsafe to use. If you or someone you care for has been injured due to a design defect in a product, the Northern California design defect lawyers at product liability law firm Balamuth Harrington, LLP may be able to help.

• Children's pajamas made of flammable fabric
• Defective pharmaceuticals and personal care products
• Appliances and tools made with design flaws that can injure users
• Asbestos litigation
• Automobile parts that fail to work properly and endanger people due to poor design
