When Safety Fails: Holding Manufacturers Accountable for Defective Products
Every day, consumers rely on products to function safely—cars, appliances, tools, toys, medications. But when manufacturers cut corners, ignore safety standards, or fail to warn about risks, ordinary items can become life-threatening. At Moore Payne, we represent individuals and families who have been seriously harmed or lost loved ones due to defective products. We help you turn devastation into justice and action.
What Is Product Liability?
Product liability is a legal area that holds companies accountable when their products cause harm due to design flaws, manufacturing errors, or insufficient warnings. These cases can involve:
- Defective Design – The product is inherently dangerous due to flawed engineering or planning.
- Manufacturing Defects – A safe design is compromised during production, resulting in a faulty or unsafe product.
- Failure to Warn – A product lacks proper labels or instructions to alert users of potential risks.
Whether it’s a malfunctioning airbag, a dangerous toy, or a contaminated food product, victims have the right to pursue legal claims when a product causes injury or death.
Examples of Common Product Liability Cases
Product defects can occur across countless industries. At Moore Payne, we’ve handled cases involving:
- Auto Parts: Faulty brakes, airbags, tires, or steering systems
- Medical Devices: Pacemakers, implants, or surgical tools that malfunction or fail
- Pharmaceuticals: Dangerous side effects from prescription or over-the-counter drugs
- Children’s Products: Choking hazards, toxic materials, or unsafe designs
- Home Appliances: Fires caused by electrical defects or faulty wiring
- Industrial Equipment: Workplace machinery lacking proper safety guards or warnings
These cases can result in severe injuries—burns, amputations, brain damage, or even fatalities.

The Challenges of a Product Liability Case
Unlike standard personal injury cases, product liability claims often involve:
- Corporate Defendants – Large manufacturers with legal teams and deep pockets
- Complex Evidence – Product recalls, engineering reports, and expert analysis
- Strict Deadlines – Statutes of limitation that vary by state and type of product
To succeed, you need a law firm with resources, experience, and the determination to take on powerful companies. Moore Payne builds each case with meticulous investigation and expert collaboration.
Compensation You May Be Entitled To
Victims of defective products may be eligible for compensation, including:
- Medical bills and ongoing treatment
- Lost income or reduced earning capacity
- Pain and suffering
- Permanent disability or disfigurement
- Wrongful death damages for surviving family members
