It is necessary that companies disclose certain information to you when you buy a product.
For example, if you buy an electric drill, it should have a warning label that explains the harms of electricity, as well as labels and instructions that explain the particular harms of using the tool.
Sometimes warning labels are pointed to as a sign of a too- guarded culture but they are required for a reason.
Manufacturers are accountable for the products they sell.
This is covered under product liability law, and it's what's drawn when you go to court to recover damages from defective products.
Not all product liability lawsuits involve defects in products, however.
Some are filed when the manufacturer fails to notify their customer.
Imagine if the aforementioned drill came with no warning labels at all.
While it might seem like common sense to you, remember that children or people who simply don't know anything about tools might get the drill too close to water or might use it in a dangerous way.
As long as they were warned, it's their responsibility.
If they weren't warned, then it's the manufacturer's responsibility and the injured parties can file a lawsuit.
A product liability claim oftentimes arises because an injury is very severe.
You may have seen some of these claims mocked by comedians or in the news.
They would allude, for instance, that a woman who endured second-degree burns from a cup of coffee bought at a drive through was stupid for not knowing the coffee was hot.
In addition to not anticipating their coffee to be hot enough to blister their flesh, it's likely that it is those same snarky people that don't consider that this hot beverage would be handed to them in a venue where they were expected to be driving, with no warning about the fact that the coffee would be much hotter than one would suspect.
Call an attorney, even if you're worried that you're just being unreasonable in thinking that you've been wronged, if you believe you've been injured by a product.
It is likely that you can get a free consultation regarding your case.
Product liability attorneys do not discover ways for people to get rich without working: they represent people who confided in a company, and whose confidence was then violated.
No product should create harm in an unforeseen manner.
If you've been hurt, you've likely paid for it, and deserve to collect damages.
