What is a defective product claim?

Our homes are full of manufactured products that we use every day. From electronics and kitchen equipment to cars and medicines – we buy these products believing that they are safe and meet certain standards. Sometimes, however, these products can be defective and cause injury.

If you’ve been a victim of a substandard product, then you could make a defective product claim. At PM Law, we’re committed to getting you the compensation you deserve for a faulty product injury.

How could you be injured by a defective product?

There are numerous ways you could be injured by a defective product. Small errors in design or in their manufacturing mean that a potential harmless product can easily become dangerous. Here are some examples of how you could be injured by a defective product:

  • A child is injured by a faulty toy
  • You receive burns from a defective electrical device
  • Your skin is scarred by an untested cosmetic product
  • You’re injured by a fault gardening tool

Who would I make a defective product injury claim against?

If you’ve been injured by a faulty product, then you can claim for compensation from the manufacturer. Your claim would be made under the Consumer Protection Act 1987, but the shop you bought the product from may also be at fault for the injury in some cases.

However, if you weren’t injured but have bought a faulty product, then you can return it to the shop it came from and ask for a refund or replacement under the Consumer Rights Act.
