Product Liability

Houston-Dallas-Fort Worth-Austin Defective Product Lawyers

We have a right to expect that the products we use on our jobs and in our daily lives are reasonably safe. We should be warned about the risks if products have dangers. However, every day, people are injured or killed without warning by products that are dangerous or defective. At Fears | Nachawati, our lawyers are dedicated to holding manufacturers accountable and helping you obtain the recovery you are entitled to under Texas law.

There are many types of products that can cause serious injury or death:

• Products containing asbestos, which can cause mesothelioma cancer
• Defective toys with small parts that present a choking hazard to children
• Unsafe electrical appliances
• Unsafe work tools and equipment
• Dangerous drugs, such as Vioxx and Bextra which are linked to heart attacks
• Hormone Replacement Therapy (HRT) which linked to an increase in breast cancer cases
• Auto defects, such as defective tires that can lead to vehicle rollover

Products can be defective as to design or manufacturer. A design defect is inherent to all products of the same type made by the manufacturer. A manufacturing defect is a defect that exists on some products, but not all, made by a manufacturer. A product is also considered defective if it lacks proper safety warnings.

The manufacturer, the distributor, and store that sold the product are all responsible for any injury or death caused by normal use of a product. If you or your loved one is injured by product, you should preserve the product as evidence. Do not attempt to repair it or change it in any way following the accident.
