When a manufacturer, a wholesale distributor, or a retailer markets a product, they are required by law to ensure that the product will be safe for its intended, or even unintended but foreseeable, uses, and to warn those who may come in contact with their product of potential dangers and how to safely use the product. They also have an obligation to act proactively to remove from commerce those items that are unsafe.

Our product liability lawyers located in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, Lancaster, Pennsylvania and Marlton, New Jersey represent individuals who have been injured by consumer products, machinery, other products and even prescription drugs in those cases where responsible parties have failed to meet the standards require by law with respect to product safety. Such cases have arisen from product defects involving the following, for example:

•pharmaceuticals
•lawn mowers
•power tools and appliances
•childrens toys
•motor vehicles
•sports equipment
•vaccines
•food
•asbestos
•lead paint
•breast impants

In product liability cases, there are many different legal theories that can provide a basis for your recovery. For example, unlike most personal injury cases where liability is founded on the theory that the defendant failed to provide a reasonable degree of care under the circumstances, product liability claims may be founded not only on negligence, but sometime on the basis of strict liability, which is essentially liability without regard to fault, or under a breach of express or implied warranty theory.

If you suffered an injury while using a product or you believe you may have suffered injuries as the result of taking medication, you should contact an experienced product liability attorney to help you analyze your options. A product liability lawyer or a prescription drug lawyer at Kane & Silverman in Philadelphia, PA can help you to pursue a just recovery for your injuries.
