Products Liability

Consumers have the right to expect products on shelves are reasonably safe—or that potential hazards are displayed on packaging or marketing materials. Products liability lawsuits come into play when the risk of using a product is not warned, cannot be anticipated, or outstrips its beneficial aspects. Our law firm holds product manufacturers, distributors, suppliers, and retailers responsible for preventable serious or fatal injuries.

At The Law Firm of Ted B. Lyon & Associates, our attorneys work with clients who have sustained an injury because of defective products, including—

Motor vehicle tires
Dangerous drugs
Medical devices
Forklifts

Seatbelts or restraints
Fuel fires
Bicycles
Heating pads

We are committed to protecting consumers against design flaws or defects, manufacturing flaws or defects, and deceptive marketing.
