Product Liability Lawyers to Take On Major Manufacturers
From malfunctioning medical devices and unsafe pharmaceuticals to dangerous vehicles, aircraft components, and everyday household appliances, product failures can result in catastrophic injuries or even death. These cases often involve complex questions of design flaws, manufacturing errors, and inadequate warnings or instructions. At Podhurst Orseck, our nationally recognized product liability attorneys have decades of experience uncovering the truth behind defective products and holding manufacturers, designers, and distributors accountable. We fight to secure justice, compensation, and safer standards for consumers nationwide.
Defective Product Lawsuits Aren’t Easy – That’s Why You Need Us
Product liability cases are some of the most complex in civil litigation and personal injury law. Proving that a product was dangerously flawed—whether in design, manufacturing, or marketing—requires technical knowledge, aggressive investigation, and courtroom experience. Podhurst Orseck has all three.
Our product liability lawyers routinely litigate cases involving:
- Aircraft defects and auto defects, including faulty brakes, airbags, & tires
- Defective medical devices and implants
- Dangerous pharmaceuticals and mislabeled medications
- Unsafe children’s toys and furniture
- Flammable or exploding consumer goods
- Industrial machinery and workplace product failures
We collaborate with engineers, industry insiders, and medical experts to expose design flaws and manufacturing negligence.
Expose the Truth Behind Dangerous Products
Corporate defendants often try to hide or deny responsibility.
Our team digs deep into:
- Design blueprints and engineering reports
- Quality control records and recall history
- Internal memos about known risks
- Regulatory violations and government investigations
- Marketing materials and false safety claims
We leave no stone unturned in proving negligence and securing justice for our clients.
We Take On Global Manufacturers for Design Flaws
Design defects can affect entire product lines and lead to tragic outcomes. We hold corporations liable for dangerously conceived products such as:
- SUVs prone to rollovers
- Power tools lacking guards or shut-off switches
- Lithium-ion batteries that overheat and explode
- Sleep apnea machines with toxic foam
- Hip implants that corrode and release metal into the body
Our firm has taken on some of the world’s largest manufacturers, and we don’t back down.
Manufacturing Defects Aren’t Accidents – They’re Negligence
Even well-designed products can become deadly when corners are cut during production. Our team investigates:
- Assembly line errors and contamination
- Inadequate testing and quality checks
- Use of substandard materials
- Failure to recall known defective batches
- Negligent third-party contractors or suppliers
Whether a product was assembled overseas or locally, we pursue accountability at every level of the supply chain.
Injured by a Product? Get Legal Backup Before It’s Too Late
If a defective product has injured you, time is critical. Evidence may disappear, and companies may alter designs or issue limited recalls to minimize liability.
Common injuries from faulty products include:
- Burns, electrocution, or fire-related trauma
- Traumatic brain injuries from falls or auto crashes
- Amputations and crush injuries from malfunctioning tools
- Organ damage or death from dangerous medications
- Choking or suffocation hazards in children’s items
We pursue full compensation for your injuries, medical care, pain, and long-term recovery.

Explore More Of Our Landmark CasesWho’s Eligible to Sue for a Product Defect & What Impacts Your Case?
Product liability laws give injured consumers and surviving families the right to sue for damages, but your eligibility depends on several factors.
You Were Seriously Injured by a Defective Product
Products from home appliances to hospital equipment should not cause injury during everyday use. You may have a strong case if you were harmed by a defect or hazard that wasn’t clearly warned about.
A Loved One Died Due to a Product Malfunction
Wrongful death claims may be brought by spouses, children, or estates when a product defect leads to a fatal accident. We help families hold corporations accountable for unsafe design, lack of warnings, or reckless cost-cutting.
You Suffered Financial Losses or Emotional Trauma
Product failures often cause more than just physical harm. If a defective product causes emotional distress, income loss, or property destruction, we can help you recover what you’ve lost.
The Product Was Recalled or Known to Be Dangerous
Even if a company issued a recall, it may still be liable for damages. We investigate timelines, corporate knowledge, and whether the warning or recall came too late.
Who’s Liable for a Defective Product?
Multiple parties can be responsible in a product liability claim, including:
- Manufacturers – for design flaws, poor safety testing, or defective materials
- Distributors and Retailers – for selling unsafe products or ignoring recall obligations
- Designers or Engineers – for failing to account for foreseeable risks
- Testing Labs – for faulty product approvals or certifications
- Pharmaceutical Companies – for hiding side effects or exaggerating safety claims
Podhurst Orseck builds comprehensive legal strategies to hold every responsible party accountable.

Frequently Asked Questions About Product Liability
YOUR RIGHTS, EXPLAINED
What Products Are Commonly Involved in Lawsuits?
Product liability lawsuits can arise from a wide range of defective or dangerous items. We frequently handle cases involving faulty aviation parts, unsafe medical devices, hazardous consumer electronics, contaminated prescription drugs, industrial machinery, and unsafe children’s products. Any product that causes injury due to poor design, manufacturing defects, or inadequate warnings can be the basis for a legal claim.
How Do I Know if I Have a Product Liability Case?
If you were using a product as intended—or in a reasonably foreseeable way—and suffered an injury, you may have grounds for a claim. Key factors include whether the product was defective, whether the defect caused your injury, and whether proper warnings were provided. These cases often require technical analysis and expert input, which our team can coordinate on your behalf.
How Long Do I Have to File a Lawsuit?
Every product liability claim is subject to a statute of limitations, which varies depending on the state, the type of product involved, and when the injury occurred. Sometimes, you may only have a year or two to act and missing that deadline can bar you from recovering compensation entirely.
Will My Product Defect Case Settle or Go to Trial?
Many product liability cases are resolved through settlement before reaching trial, but there’s no guarantee. We prepare every case with the expectation that it could go before a jury. That trial-ready approach gives us leverage during negotiations and often results in stronger client settlement offers. If a fair offer isn’t made, we are fully equipped and unafraid to take the fight to court.
