Accidents Caused by Defective Products and Devices

Merely because someone is injured when using a product does not necessarily mean that the product or device is defective. In order to establish a New York product liability claim for a product that is alleged to be defective, it must be established that either:

Since 1987, Mr. DiMartini has represented people injured in accidents due to defective products throughout the New York City metropolitan area.

1. There was a design defect that caused the product to be unsafe for its intended purpose;
2. There was a manufacturing defect that made the product dangerous; or
3. There was a failure to warn of a known danger by including proper warning labels and packaging to inform of the safety hazards in using the product or devices.

If any of these failures can be established, the injured party may be entitled to compensation for their pain and suffering, medical expenses, lost wages, and other damages.

Products that Cause Injury

Products serve a useful and necessary function in our society, from the clothes we wear to the cars we drive. There are medical devices and pharmaceutical products that help us get well or keep us well. There are toys, tools, tires, and machine parts. The list is endless. However, when a product or device fails to function properly when used as intended it can be dangerous and cause serious injury or even death.

There are times that a product is discovered to be defective and is then recalled by the manufacture or a regulating governmental agency such as the Food and Drug Administration or the Consumer Product Safety Commission.

Other times, the product may not be known to be defective by the manufacture or governmental agency, yet still may be a defective product.

Defective products may include the following:

• Medical devices
• Testosterone Therapy
• Xarelto
• Medications
• Tylenol (Acetaminophen)
• Toys
• Cars
• Clothing
• Household appliances
• Tools
• NAPAfire and FIREGEL Pourable Gel Fuel Recall

The Consumer Product Safety Commission issues regular alters and notices concerning dangerous products and child product recalls.
