Product liability lawsuits hold manufacturers, distributors, and /or sellers of defective products responsible when these products cause personal injury and/or death. Defective products are responsible for thousands of men, women and children being seriously hurt or killed each year. If you believe you have a product liability claim, it is important to immediately contact a Missouri product liability lawyer. A product liability attorney can tell you if there has been a product recall on the product and whether there have been other product liability claims similar to yours.

Missouri product liability law holds manufacturers, distributors and sellers of defective products responsible for the safety of their products. Product liability claims fall within one of three categories: product design, product defect and failure to warn. Product design lawsuits allege the product was defectively designed by the manufacturer. Product defect lawsuits allege the product was not produced according to the manufacturer’s intended design and was therefore defective. Failure to warn cases are premised on the failure to advise the purchaser of the dangers posed in using the product. Missouri product liability law requires manufacturers, distributors and sellers to provide adequate warnings to consumers that communicate any dangers associated with those products. Sometimes, product liability claims can be based upon warranties that may have come with the defective product.

Defective products have claimed thousands of lives and injured thousands of people. Thankfully, through the hard work of product liability lawyers, manufacturers, distributors and sellers of dangerous products are forced to stop selling these products or made to make the products safer for consumer use. Without the hard work and dedication of product liability attorneys, companies would be free to make products that pose unreasonable dangers to you and your family. This means you and your family are safer because of these lawsuits.
