“Failure to Warn” Claims

Companies that produce, ship, or sell consumer goods have an important duty to ensure that their products are reasonably safe for their intended uses. When they do not, they can be held responsible for any resulting injuries if their victims choose to file product liability claims. Such claims can be based on one or more kind of product defect: a design defect, a manufacturing defect, or a failure to warn.

The New Jersey product defect attorneys of Levinson Axelrod, P.A. have the knowledge and experience necessary to pursue a variety of product liability claims. If you or a member of your family has been hurt by a poorly made or negligently advertised product, we will fight for you. Call our offices at 800-346-5529.

What is a Failure to Warn?

Most products have certain dangers that are inherent to their design and are therefore unavoidable. This does not relieve manufacturers of their responsibility to the public’s safety, however. You may have grounds for a failure to warn suit if you have been injured by a product with one or more of the following advertising errors:

• Lack of instructions for using the product safely
• Incorrect or absent information about a toy’s recommended age
• Lack of warnings about potential dangers beyond the obvious (for example, knife manufacturers do not need to warn that knives can cut you)

The legal regulations about the kinds of warnings that manufacturers need to publish can be nuanced and complex. To increase your chances of success in your claim, you will need the assistance of a qualified New Jersey failure to warn lawyer.
