Manufacturers, distributors, and retailers have a duty to ensure the products they sell are safe for consumer use. When a defective product causes injury, they can be held strictly liable regardless of whether they were careless. GroverLawKC handles product liability cases against manufacturers and retailers throughout the Kansas City area.
Types of Product Defects
Product liability claims fall into three main categories. Design defects exist when the product's very design is inherently dangerous, even if manufactured correctly. Manufacturing defects occur when something goes wrong in the production process, creating a product that departs from its intended design. Marketing defects (or failure to warn) occur when a product lacks adequate instructions or warnings about known risks.
Common defective product cases involve defective auto parts (airbags, tires, braking systems), dangerous medications and medical devices, defective children's toys, hazardous household appliances, and unsafe tools and industrial equipment.
Strict Liability in Product Cases
Under strict product liability, you do not need to prove the manufacturer was negligent — only that the product was defective and the defect caused your injury. This is a powerful legal doctrine that levels the playing field against large corporations with enormous legal resources.
Product liability cases often involve extensive discovery, engineering experts, and safety standard analysis. Our firm has the resources to pursue these complex cases and has successfully held major manufacturers accountable for injuries caused by their defective products.
