Those products might be seat restraint systems or air bags on vehicles, medications, toys, cribs or even talcum powder.

If you or a family member were injured by what you believe was a dangerously defective product, you’ll want to speak with our New Jersey personal injury lawyers at Gruber Schwartz & Posnock. You’ll be needing us to pursue the compensation that you deserve for your damages.

Strict Liability

As per the product liability lawyers at our personal injury law firm in NJ, a product can be determined to be dangerously defective in one of three ways. If a defect exists, anybody from the product’s manufacturer, manufacturers of component parts, wholesales, distributors and retailers can be held strictly liable for injuries or deaths caused by the product. The three types of dangerous defects follow:

• Design Defects: These come from the drawing board and blueprints. Every product in the line is dangerously defective.
• Manufacturing Defects: Only a few of the products will be dangerously defective. Perhaps some of the products or their component parts passed inspection when they shouldn’t have passed.
• Marketing Defects: Warnings on product packaging or on the product itself might be insufficient to warn consumers against injuries.
