Albany Defective Products Lawyers
Any product, from simple household items to complex machinery, may contain design defects that can injure or even kill users. Some products can also become defective and injure users through their normal use. Toys, tools, appliances — almost anything can either be designed with a defect built-in, or be defective because of a manufacturing flaw.

If you or a loved one has been injured by a defective product, contact our product liability lawyers to find out how we can help.

Improperly designed or manufactured furniture has tipped over or broken under normal use, causing a fall with possible head injuries or fractures. Wheelchair ramps have buckled, further injuring the chair user and resulting in loss of function. Poor or incomplete directions for installation or assembly of products have left them dangerous. Inadequate warning labels about an unavoidable danger in a product have caused many kinds of damage, including catastrophic injuries.
