What can I make a defective product injury claim for?
If you have been injured due to the result of a manufacturing fault or poor product design, you may be able to make a claim under The Consumer Production Act 1987. The Act contains terms which outline that if you are injured due to a faulty product, it is not necessary to prove that the manufacturer was negligent. The manufacturer will be deemed responsible under ‘strict liability’ should the faulty product have caused an injury.
Common examples of defective product injury claims include:
- Unsafe electrical equipment, leading to electric shocks or fire.
- Contaminated food causing food poisoning.
- Malfunctioning hair styling equipment, resulting in burns, cuts and scarring.
- Contaminated cosmetic products, causing skin damage.
- Unsafe medical equipment, leading to further internal or external injuries.
- Badly designed buggy hinges, resulting in hand injuries and broken fingers.
