About Defective Products
A product should be safe when used the way it was meant to be used. When a consumer good, vehicle, machine, household appliance, or tool causes injury because it is unsafe by design or poorly manufactured, that may be a defective product claim. Under California's strict product liability rule, you generally do not have to prove the company was careless — only that the product was unreasonably dangerous and caused your injury. Liability may extend from the manufacturer to the distributor or retailer. Recoverable damages can include medical expenses, lost wages, and pain and suffering.
