Negligent Product Design.
Often times we hear of people being harmed by-products on the news. It can as simple as an allergic reaction from an unlisted chemical the manufacturer uses, or a serious car malfunction. Too many times, manufacturers get away with selling products they know are harmful, or were too negligent to ensure the product was safe. In these cases, it’s often appropriate to pressure a product liability case. Manufacturers have a duty of care when they sell you a product. Manufacturers must disclose any known hazards by writing or some other kind of label. They must disclose any recalls once they have been announced by a government body. They also must have some means for customers to return defective products, and provide instructions
