Filing a Claim After a Product Recall

When Can You File a Claim After a Product Recall in California?
To pursue a claim against a company that produced a recalled product, you must sustain an injury from that product. In this case, a recall can be used to prove a defect, especially if the liable party did not attempt to share the recall with you.
Our knowledgeable lawyers can help you determine if you have a product liability claim and which one of the following categories it falls under:
Design Defect
This type of defect occurs in the product’s design, affecting every unit made instead of a certain batch. In addition to a recall, we can sometimes use the product’s drawings and testing records to prove the error occurred in the design itself.
Manufacturing Defect
A manufacturing defect occurs during the making of a product. Even if a product’s design is perfectly safe, if it is manufactured incorrectly, it can cause serious problems and injuries to the consumer.
Failure to Warn
You can file this type of product liability claim if the liable party knew about their product’s potential dangers and failed to warn you or provide the appropriate information for you to make an informed decision about the item.
With the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) announcing 292 product recalls in 2022, product-related injuries happen often. Due to the extensive process of recalling an item, many people often do not know if a product is defective or do not know about recalls of the products they use. Acting quickly is crucial after suffering injuries due to a recalled product, so do not hesitate to reach out to Younglove Law Group to seek the justice you deserve.
