Not every defective product problem comes from a factory mistake. Sometimes a product is built exactly as intended, but the design itself is unreasonably dangerous. When an entire line of products shares the same flawed design, everyone who uses that product is at risk. Wieand Parker Arreola, PLLC, represents clients in Pennsylvania and New Jersey who were injured by products with dangerous design defects.
A design defect exists when a product’s blueprint or design creates an unreasonable risk of harm, even when the product is manufactured perfectly according to that design. Because the flaw is built into every unit, design defect cases often involve many injured consumers and can lead to product recalls.
Design defect claims typically require showing that a safer, practical alternative design existed and that the manufacturer chose not to use it. Our firm works with engineers and product safety experts to demonstrate how a product’s design caused your injury and to identify every company in the chain of distribution that may be responsible.
