When you use common consumer products, whether they are household appliances, power tools, tires for your car, ladders, sports equipment or toys that entertain your children, you assume the products are safe to use. Yet each year thousands of consumers in the U.S. are injured or killed while using defective products.

Often defects appear after products are sold and are in the hands of consumers. When unexpected danger surfaces once products are on the market, recalls are issued. The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission along with manufacturers, magazines and other media regularly announce product recalls.

A product is defined as defective if it is deemed unreasonably dangerous to one who would use the product in a normal way. There are three basic types of product defects: defects in design, manufacturing defects and insufficient instructions or warnings regarding usage.

If a defective product causes serious injury you may be able to file a lawsuit to recover compensation for lost wages, medical bills and punitive damages. Whether or not you have a basis for a product liability case lies not only in an injury resulting from use of an item, but also in whether the product was defective or unexpectedly dangerous.

Consulting a product liability lawyer after your accident is very important. The time limits set for filing a lawsuit vary from state to state. In Texas product liability actions must be brought within two years, in Florida, four years and Missouri, five years after you suffer the injury.
