Recent Defective Product Lawsuits

Many consumer products turn out to be defective, causing harm to consumers who use them as directed. Such products can range from auto parts to appliances, prescription medicines, children's toys, and food products to medical devices and household goods. In such cases, consumers who have sustained injury may seek legal recourse through an injury claim against the manufacturer. Where many consumers have been harmed, such legal action may turn into a class-action lawsuit where a substantial group of individuals bring a collective claim to the courts. Many class action lawsuits have been initiated in the past few decades against large corporations manufacturing everything from motor vehicles to drugs.

Consumer products can be defective in their design, manufacture, or in their marketing or labeling. For example, drugs which are promoted by pharmaceutical companies to treat conditions other than for what the drug was intended can be considered "defective" or fraudulent. Furthermore, drugs which have not been adequately tested and produce more harm than benefit due to dangerous side effects can also be deemed defective. Recent examples of lawsuits based on product liability in the U.S. include a class action lawsuit against drug giant Pfizer concerning its drug Zoloft, a class action lawsuit against Fisher-Price concerning its Newborn Rock 'n' Play Infant Sleeper, and Ford Motor Company facing a defective engine class action lawsuit concerning 6.0 liter engines in 2002 trucks.
