From home appliances to children’s toys to automobile tires, we expect the products we use to function properly and perform as promised. Unfortunately, not all products meet our expectations. Hundreds of consumer products such as appliances, clothing, electronics, furniture, cars, children’s items, sports equipment and even prescription medications are recalled each year due to dangerous defects. Defects that cause serious injuries and even death may occur in the design, manufacturing or marketing of the items we use every day. According to U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) statistics, children are particularly vulnerable when it comes to dangerous and defective products, with children’s items accounting for 41 percent of CPSC-recalled products in 2009.
The area of law addressing dangerous and defective products is known as product liability or products liability. This complex field calls for thorough investigation and careful preparation of evidence. The skilled injury lawyers of Scartelli Olszewski have represented both individuals and groups who were harmed by dangerous products and are therefore entitled to compensation. Our product liability attorneys provide experienced representation to victims of dangerous and defective products, and can help you seek the compensation to which you may be entitled.
Scartelli Olszewski’s Pennsylvania injury attorneys strive to maximize recovery for our clients, and to help them get their lives back on track. Whether the best outcome may be achieved through alternative dispute resolution measures such as arbitration or mediation, or through a state or federal courtroom trial, our attorneys thoroughly investigate product liability matters and present each case to the best advantage or our clients. If you or a loved one has suffered harm as a result of a defective or dangerous product, we encourage you to contact us today at (877) 353-0529.
