What Causes Dangerous and Defective Products?

Products can become defective in a variety of ways. When our Denver product liability attorneys investigate these claims, we often discover that the problems arise due to the following:

Design defects. All product designs should be thoroughly tested and approved before they enter the manufacturing phase. Unfortunately, there are times when companies and/or regulatory agencies fail to notice a design defect and put an inherently dangerous product in the hands of consumers.
Manufacturing defects. There are times when even a well-designed product can be altered or damaged during the manufacturing process. When a manufacturing defect occurs, the altered design could present safety problems for consumers.

Problems with the labeling. These issues, which are sometimes referred to as advertising problems or marketing defects, have to do with incorrect, inadequate, incomplete, or misleading information presented to the consumer. Defective labeling can include issues with a product’s warnings, ingredients, dosages, instructions, etc.
Failure to warn or “inadequate warnings.” Failure to warn cases involve injuries caused as a result of a product being sold without a proper warning to consumers. Some of the most well-known “failure to warn” cases involved big tobacco companies. The tobacco cases were based on a failure by the tobacco companies to adequately warn the public about the addictive and dangerous nature of their products.

When we look at the government website that keeps track of all current recalls in the United States, we can see that defective products occur in all industries. Each year, there are recalls of:

Dangerous Toys
Car crashes due to defective products, including defective tires
Defective cars and vehicle parts
Food
Beverages
Dangerous medications
Defective medical devices
Appliances
Furniture
Defective electrical products
Defective car seats
…and more

Unfortunately, there is a long history of product defects that injure or kill. From vehicles that roll or crush too easily to pharmaceutical products like VIOXX® and ReNu®, defective products come in many shapes and sizes.

Who is Liable for a Defective Product?

Successfully bringing a product liability case requires skill, knowledge, and experience. Defective product cases often involve complex and hotly contested theories of liability. Additionally, the large corporations that may be to blame and their insurance companies fight tenaciously, as any adverse verdict or settlement can have huge financial consequences.

To succeed in a lawsuit involving a defective or dangerous product, a defective product attorney must demonstrate that your injuries were the result of a defect. These claims often fall into one of two categories: strict liability and negligence.

In a strict liability case, a defective product claim must include evidence to support that the product itself was defective — despite any warnings to consumers that the product manufacturer did or did not provide. As in the case of a personal injury claim, strict product liability lawsuits must demonstrate that a party’s negligence or recklessness led to the victim’s injuries.

There are a variety of theories that our lawyers may use to build a case around incidents involving defective and dangerous products. Ultimately, an attorney must determine the best course of action by initiating an investigation and utilizing their in-depth knowledge of the law. Our Denver product liability lawyers are prepared to do just that for you.

Fuicelli & Lee proudly serves consumers who suffer injuries or the loss of a loved one due to dangerous or defective products, including:

Monsanto Roundup Cancer Lawsuits

Roundup, which is manufactured by Monsanto, is one of the most widely used weed killers in the United States. While this product is very effective at achieving its intended purpose, it also results in harmful side effects to the user. Glyphosate, the active ingredient in Roundup, has been found to increase your risk of developing non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma.

Just about anyone who comes into contact with Roundup on a regular basis experiences an increased risk of non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma, a cancer that impacts the lymphatic system. Individuals most likely to face this increased risk include:

Landscapers
Gardeners
Garden center employees
Farmers
Groundskeepers
People working in nurseries
Agricultural workers

If you’ve contracted non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma, and you regularly used Roundup, you may be entitled to file a defective product lawsuit to recover compensation for your damages. Our product liability lawyers can help you recover compensation for one or more of the following:

Medical expenses for cancer treatment
Lost wages if you must miss work
Pain and suffering
Funeral expenses, in cases involving the wrongful death of a loved one

3M Defective Earplug Lawsuits

3M Company manufactured earplugs used by the military to protect soldiers’ hearing during combat. These earplugs are designed to block out loud noises from blasts and other combat-related events. However, some of these earplugs were defective and caused soldiers to experience full or partial hearing loss and tinnitus.

The 3M Dual-Ended Combat Arms Earplugs Version 2 (CAEv2) were distributed to thousands of soldiers between 2003 and 2015. They were used in several combat zones, including Iraq and Afghanistan. The CAEv2 earplugs were too short, preventing them from being inserted properly into the ears of the soldiers using them. As a result, the earplugs would loosen, allowing sounds to enter the ear, which caused irreparable hearing damage.

In July 2018, 3M settled a product liability claim with the U.S. government for $9.1 million. This claim alleged that 3M knew about the defect and still sold the earplugs to the military. In August 2023, the manufacturer agreed to set aside $6 billion to resolve about 260.000 lawsuits related to earplug hearing loss. Tens of thousands of cases remain pending.

Injuries Caused by a Dangerous or Defective Product

Due to the variety of defects and risks included in product liability law, defective product injuries may present very differently from person to person. Some of the serious injuries that can occur as a result of a faulty product include:

Bodily injury, including traumatic brain injury, broken bones, disfigurement, burns, and permanent disability.
Cancer, including non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma, mesothelioma, and cancer of the bladder, lungs, uterus, stomach, prostate, and colon.
Psychological injury, including loss of enjoyment, pain and suffering, and loss of companionship in the case of wrongful death.

Fuicelli & Lee’s product liability attorneys will work with your doctors and other healthcare providers to understand the nature and extent of your injuries and ensure that your claim addresses all of the economic and non-economic damages you’ve experienced to the fullest degree.
