Americans use and depend on hundreds of manufactured items and products every day, from the grooming products we use in the morning, the car that we drive to work, and the cribs we place our babies into at night. We rarely spare a moment’s concern that the products we purchase and use could be unsafe, yet the Consumer Product Safety Commission warns that approximately 28,535,000 consumer product-related injuries were treated in a single recent year. If you or a close family member suffered injuries from a defective product, call our Van Nuys product liability attorneys at (323) 784–7564 to learn your legal rights and options.

Common Defective Products That Cause Injuries
When we use a product appropriately and according to directions, we never imagine that it could be unsafe, yet throughout modern history, manufacturers have produced dangerous products. The most common types of products in defective product claims include:
- Medications
- Vehicles and vehicle parts
- Infant sleep products and carriers
- Toys
- Medical devices
- Tools and equipment
- Food
- Electronics or electrical components
- Chemicals and cleaning products
- Household appliances
- Airbags
- Seatbelts
- Fireworks
- Firearms
- Cosmetics and grooming products
Any product that causes injury even when used appropriately leaves the manufacturer liable for an injury victim’s damages like medical expenses, lost earnings, compensation for pain and suffering, and compensation for catastrophic injuries like disfigurement, loss of one of the senses, or loss of limb, or wrongful death.
What Is Strict Liability In Defective Product Injury Claims?
Most personal injury claims are only successful if the injury victim proves the defendant’s negligence directly caused their injury; however, it’s not necessary to prove a manufacturer’s negligence to recover compensation for a defective product injury. Instead, manufacturers are held to what the California civil courts call a standard of “strict liability” under their duty to produce safe products. Strict liability means the manufacturer of the product that caused your injury can be held strictly liable as long as you used the product appropriately or in a way the manufacturer could reasonably have anticipated that consumers would use it.
What Do You Have to Prove to Recover Compensation in a Defective Product Claim In Van Nuys?
Instead of proving negligence, an injury victim in a defective product case must prove one of three things:
- The product has a design defect that makes it inherently unsafe while a different design could have corrected the risk
- A manufacturing error occurred that created an unsafe product
- A marketing mistake neglected to adequately warn consumers of a safety risk
Once the evidence shows any of the above to be factual in the case, an injury victim may recover compensation for injuries such as burns, chemical exposures, head or brain injuries, fractures, or any injury that caused economic and non-economic damages. A Van Nuys product liability attorney from our firm will ensure you recover maximum compensation for any injuries you sustained.
