Product liability claims arise when consumers are harmed by defective or dangerous products. These cases generally fall into three categories:
Manufacturing Defects
These occur during the production process. Examples include cracked components, contaminated pharmaceuticals, or improperly assembled machinery.
Design Defects
These affect the product’s design from the outset. Products such as unstable furniture, cars prone to rollovers, or unsafe tools can fall under this category.
Failure to Warn (Marketing Defects)
If a product lacks adequate instructions or warnings, it may pose serious risks to users. This is common with medical devices, chemicals, or high-powered electronics.
Blackhawk Law Group has handled a wide range of cases involving consumer products, power tools, toys, auto parts, medical devices, and more.
According to the National Safety Council, about 12.7 million people in the U.S. received emergency treatment in 2023 for injuries involving consumer products. (Source)
CPSC analysis for 2018–2020 estimates a 3‑year average of approximately 34 million medically treated injuries per year linked to consumer products. (Source)
While statewide California data on product‑related ED visits by county is not publicly detailed, the Bay Area, with over 7 million residents across San Francisco, Alameda, Santa Clara, and others, faces significant risk from defective consumer goods, especially in industries tied to tech, manufacturing, and imported retail items.
Under California law, you may be entitled to compensation if you were injured by a defective product, even if you didn’t purchase it directly. Parties that can be held liable include:
Product manufacturers
Designers and engineers
Distributors
Retailers
Damages may include:
Past and future medical bills
Lost wages or reduced earning capacity
Pain and suffering
Property damage
Wrongful death compensation (for families of deceased victims)
Time is limited. The statute of limitations in California for most product liability claims is two years from the date of the injury. Contact our Bay Area law office immediately to protect your rights.
Our legal team begins every case with a full investigation, which includes reviewing the product’s design, manufacturer history, past lawsuits or recalls, and your medical records. We work with expert witnesses and engineers to strengthen your case.
Our services include:
Free consultation and case evaluation
Thorough case development and documentation
