Defectively designed and manufactured products injure, kill and maim many thousands of people each year. The type of products involved in defective products lawsuits range from small items such as handsaw's to large pieces of manufacturing equipment and automobiles. In addition, defective medical products, including hip implants and heart stents can cause severe injuries. Further, defective prescription drugs and food products can cause adverse reactions, poisoning and even death. Even mass-produced housing (relative to construction defect cases) can be defective and cause injuries (toxic mold cases caused by water damage).

Responsible parties in a products liability case can be both the designer and manufacturer of the product, as well as each distributor and retailer that came in contact with the product.
