Product Recall

Trust Your Case To Our Rhode Island Product Liability Lawyer

A recalled item can often result in a product liability claim. Products are recalled, sometimes voluntarily, by the company that manufactured the product or by the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission, which is responsible for keeping defective products away from the public. A product is usually recalled because it poses a serious or unforeseen threat to the general public. Safe, everyday items are occasionally manufactured with a defect making the product potentially dangerous.

What Are The Most Commonly Recalled Products?

Any product can be subject to a recall but there are a few categories of products that are recalled more than others. Children’s toys and products and automobiles are some of the most commonly recalled products on the consumer market today.

Children’s Products

Children’s products are often the subject of voluntary recalls. Toys, car seats, clothing, cribs, strollers and high chairs have all been subject to recall. The United States Consumer Product Safety Commission lists on their website hundreds of recalls for children’s items. Many children’s product recalls make national headlines, but many do not. Depending on the defective product, injuries can range from minor burns and cuts to amputations and even death.

Cars, Auto Parts And Auto Accessories

When it comes to product recalls, the automobile industry is the undisputed king. Millions of cars are recalled every year for varying problems ranging from the very minor to the very serious. Automotive defects can often result in serious and fatal car accidents. In recent years, in particular, with the Toyota acceleration scare, the public has become extremely aware of the dangers of a defective product within a vehicle.

Some of the potentially fatal flaws in an automobile (whether recalled or not) include:

• Driver losing control of the car (i.e. Toyota acceleration cases)
• Brake failure
• Airbag deployment failure
• Electrical problems leading to fire
• Seatbelt failure
• Tire failure
• SUV rollovers (a design defect that made certain early SUVs very likely to roll over)
• Any other mechanical malfunction that leads to an auto accident
