Common Types of Defective Consumer Products
Consumer products are designed to make our lives easier, safer, and more enjoyable. However, when these products are defective, they can pose significant risks to consumers, leading to injuries or even fatalities.
Any product has the potential to be defective. Some of the most common types include:
- Electronics and Appliances: Faulty wiring, poor design, or defective components can lead to fires, electric shocks, and other hazards. Products such as microwaves, refrigerators, and smartphones, when malfunctioning, can pose serious risks to users.
- Automobiles and Auto Parts: Defects in vehicles and their components, like airbags, brakes, and tires, can result in catastrophic accidents. From SUV rollovers due to design flaws to sudden acceleration issues, automotive defects are alarmingly common.
- Children’s Toys and Products: Toys with small parts that pose choking hazards, lead paint, or unsafe designs can cause harm to children. Similarly, baby cribs and car seats must meet safety standards to prevent injury or death, and when they don’t meet these benchmarks, tragedy can occur.
- Medical Devices: When medical devices fail, the consequences can be life-threatening for patients. Examples of these products include faulty pacemakers, hip replacements, and surgical instruments.
- Pharmaceuticals: Medications with undisclosed side effects, contamination, or improper labeling can lead to serious health issues or exacerbate existing conditions.
Are You Eligible for a Product Liability Lawsuit?
In California, you may be eligible for a product liability lawsuit if you have been injured or suffered damages due to a defective product. This eligibility extends to consumers who used the product as intended or in a manner reasonably foreseeable by the manufacturer.
Whether the defect lies in the product’s design, manufacturing process, or labeling (including failure to warn of potential risks), you could have a valid claim. However, the only way to validate your eligibility is to schedule a consultation with an attorney. The consumer product liability lawyers at Panish Shea Ravipudi can carefully evaluate your case and outline your legal options.

How Much Is Your Defective Product Claim Worth?
There are several types of damages that you can recover in a product liability lawsuit. These include past and future medical expenses for any injuries that you suffered as a result of the defect, as well as lost wages or future earnings if the injury impacts your ability to work. You can also secure compensation for any property that was damaged in the incident, as well as your physical and emotional pain and suffering.
Because compensation in these claims relies heavily on the individual circumstances of your case, it can be very difficult to estimate your award value. Factors such as the severity of your injuries, the defect’s impact on your quality of life, and the product manufacturer’s degree of negligence all play a role in calculating potential compensation.
The only way to gain an accurate understanding of your claim’s value is by consulting with an attorney. At Panish Shea Ravipudi, we provide each client with a meticulous and accurate evaluation of their potential settlement, and we will use this information to advocate for the highest possible award. We will leave no stone unturned when assessing the worth of your lawsuit.
