Have you or your child been harmed by a defective product? It happens frequently in this country. You would think that with all the regulations, government protection, and rules that manufacturers must follow that it would rarely happen. But, it does. And yes, sometimes an individual doesn’t use a product the way they are supposed to. But often, it’s the other way around: bad products end up in the hands of consumers, some of them the most vulnerable of all: children.

There are agencies that have been established to monitor and regulate the industries that manufacture consumer goods. When you or your child have been hurt by using a product safely and as it was intended, the manufacturer, marketers and/or retailers should be held accountable.

Think of all the products that can fall into this category: cars, trucks and SUVs, manufacturing equipment, unsafe toys and flammable fabrics – they all have been cited for faulty design. The list is endless. Take into consideration the SUV’s that flipped over a few years back- these vehicles were killing people all over the country. Other well-known incidents have occurred with children’s toys. Little pieces of plastic, strings that hang down, things that are ingested – there are many opportunities for children to be hurt or killed due to toys that haven’t been thoroughly tested.

Protecting consumers remains an important goal for our federal and state governments. Unfortunately, they are failing us in their responsibility. How about the FDA and the pharmaceuticals industry? What has happened there?  Poor testing procedures and lax rules have allowed unsafe drugs to come on the market.
