Thousands of people are injured, maimed, and even killed by defective products every year. Defective products may range from prescription drugs to children's toys to household products to airbags in automobiles. Some defective product cases involve a product that was the subject of a nationwide recall. Other defective product cases may involve a single instance of a product failing. In either event, the injured person must prove that the product was not safe for its intended use, that the product was not misused, that the product had not outlived its useful life and that the defect in the product caused the person's injuries. Much the same as a medical negligence case, experts are utilized to prove these points.
