Missouri Defective Products & Product Recall Lawyers
DEFECTIVE PRODUCTS/ PRODUCT RECALLS
Measure twice, cut once. If more companies followed this rule, fewer people would be hurt by dangerous product defects. Instead, in the quest for profits, the products are often rushed to market with little thought for safety. Then, only after people suffer devastating injuries are they recalled. Sometimes it is a complex machine like a car or SUV causing the injury. Sometimes it is a chemical or gas explosion. It may even be a defective drug or healthcare product. More often, danger comes in the form of a mechanical product used in the home or on the job like a lift gate on a work truck, a lawn mower, or a baby’s crib.
Whatever the product, CBPW has a team of engineering and safety experts we use to teach the lesson of “measure twice, cut once” to careless companies. We examine the design of the products, the materials from which they are made and the way they are made. More importantly, we review the product to see if the manufacturer followed industry standards and safety regulations. The result is that our clients are compensated for their injuries and the companies often change the way they do business. This not only helps our clients, but makes it safer for everyone.
