Understanding Product Liability

Product liability laws protect consumers from harm caused by unsafe or defective products. If a product is defectively designed, improperly manufactured, or sold without adequate warnings, the injured consumer may be able to file a product liability lawsuit.

You may be entitled to compensation for medical bills, lost income, pain and suffering, and long-term disability. Fielding Law helps guide you through this process with compassion and determination.

Types of Product Defects

There are three main types of product defects:

• Design Defects – The product’s design is inherently dangerous, even before manufacturing.

• Manufacturing Defects – An error during production made a safe design unsafe.

• Failure to Warn (Marketing Defects) – The product lacked proper instructions or warnings.

No matter the type of defect, our attorneys know how to investigate, identify liability, and build a strong case on your behalf.

Common Defective Products

We have represented clients injured by a wide range of dangerous consumer products, including:

• Vehicle parts (airbags, brakes, seatbelts)

• Medical devices and implants

• Prescription drugs

• Household appliances

• Children’s toys and baby gear

• Power tools and machinery

• E-cigarettes and vaping devices

• Contaminated food or supplements

If you believe a defective product caused your injury, we are ready to help.

Injuries Caused by Defective Products

Unsafe products can cause devastating injuries, such as:

• Severe burns

• Lacerations and amputations

• Traumatic brain injuries (TBI)

• Internal injuries

• Broken bones and fractures

• Birth injuries

• Long-term illness or wrongful death

Some injuries may not show symptoms right away. Even if time has passed since the injury, you may still have a valid claim. Fielding Law can help you understand your legal options.

What to Do After a Defective Product Injury

If you are injured by a faulty product, taking the right steps can protect your health and your case:

1. Seek Medical Care Immediately – Your safety is the priority.

2. Keep the Product – Do not throw it away or try to fix it.

3. Take Photos – Document the product, the injuries, and the scene.

4. Save Receipts & Packaging – This helps prove where and when you bought the item.

5. Contact a Defective Product Lawyer – Fielding Law can take it from there.

California & Arizona Product Liability Laws

California:

• Strict liability applies – you may not need to prove negligence, only that the product was defective and caused harm

• Statute of limitations is generally 2 years from the injury date

Arizona:

• Follows strict product liability principles as well

• Also allows claims based on negligence or breach of warranty

• The statute of limitations is usually 2 years

We know how to navigate the laws in both states and will ensure your case is filed properly and on time.
