Many cases hit our courts every day where a consumer was injured by a defective product either from a poor design, or a defect in the production of the product or a Failure to Warn which is one of the main theories of product liability law.
In 2009 the Supreme Court ruled drug makers can be sued for failing to warn of the risks of a medication even though the FDA has approved package or label warnings. This ruling makes clear the same standard applies to makers of the generic forms of the drug. Manufacturers and suppliers are required to give warnings of any dangerous propensities in their products (inherent dangers or dangers from particular uses) of which they know or should know and which a reasonable user would not ordinarily discover.
If you have been injured as a result of an inadequate warning on a consumer product, it is essential that you retain an attorney who specializes in products liability actions. Your attorney will be able to analyze the facts surrounding the accident to determine whether the manufacturer should have been aware of potential dangers and provide an appropriate warning.
