Barry
& Loewy LLP represents individuals and the families
of individuals who have been seriously injured or
killed by unsafe products. Every year, tens of
thousands of people are injured or killed by unsafe
or faulty products, including
defective industrial equipment,
faulty medical devices,
prescription drugs, and unsafe motorized
equipment.The Consumer Product Safety Commission reports that there are over 22,000 deaths and 29 million injuries related to defective consumer products each year. Annually, consumer products cause more than $500 billion in deaths, injuries and damage to property. We frequently hear of product recalls because of defects in a product’s safety and design, such as in motorcycles, ATVs, tractors, cranes, lifts, snowmobiles, children’s toys and pajamas.
If you were injured by a dangerous and defective product, or if a loved one was seriously injured or killed, it is possible the same product harmed other consumers.
