Injuries Caused By Hazardous Products

Product Liability Attorneys

HELPING BAY AREA CONSUMERS OBTAIN COMPENSATION FOR CONSUMER PRODUCT INJURIES

Known as product liability, the state of California holds manufacturers, distributors, and retailers liable under the law for certain defects in products sold to consumers that cause injury. A product is defective if it contains a manufacturing or design defect, or lacks sufficient instructions or warnings. There are countless scenarios that have given rise to a product liability claim. Since each situation is unique, reaching out to an attorney knowledgeable in this area of law who can provide reliable guidance about your product injury is advised.

LITHIUM-ION BATTERY INJURIES

Lithium-ion batters are present in laptops, automobiles, cell phones, hoverboards and a large variety of other products. They can catch fire due to thermal runaway.

In recent months, many individuals have suffered burns and other injuries as a result of fires or explosions caused by lithium-ion batteries found in Samsung Galaxy Note 7 smartphones. A manufacturing defect that has caused a runaway chemical reaction in these batteries is suspected to be the culprit. If you or a family member has been injured by any product containing a lithium-ion battery, let us help.
