Defective Products

Every year, workers, homeowners and others suffer serious personal injuries using tools and other products that fail to act as expected.

Close-up of an electrical wire with damaged insulation catching fire, illustrating the dangers of defective electrical products and potential fire hazards in household items.

When products fail, we stand firm.

Poorly formulated metal can fail. Bad circuits can lead to fire hazards, burn injuries or electrocution. Industrial face masks and tools may not provide proper safety features. A design defect may cause an outdoor grill or hunting rifle to explode. If you have been seriously injured using a power tool, a household product, or another consumer good, we want to help.
