Thousands of Unsafe Products
Millions of Americans are killed or injured by dangerous defects in the products we use every day. We all depend on manufacturers to ensure that their products are designed and manufactured safely. Unfortunately, manufacturers do not always live up to their responsibility to protect the public. You may have heard about the accidents caused by faulty brakes in Toyota vehicles, or maybe the heart attacks caused by the diabetes drug Avandia, or the toxic lead paint used on some children’s toys manufactured in China. These are only a few of the many hazards posed by dangerous and defective products.
Legal Protection for Consumers
Under Hawaii law, consumers are given the maximum possible protection that the law can muster against dangerous defects in products. Manufacturers have a legal duty to test their products for potential hazards, and to warn consumers about any dangers that cannot be eliminated. In order to protect the public, manufacturers must ensure that their products are safe for their intended use.
Manufacturers Held Accountable
All too often, the manufacturers of these products were well-aware of the danger, but failed to correct the problem because they were more focused on profits than consumer safety. These corporations should be held accountable in court. The attorneys at the Galiher law firm have exposed the callousness of these manufacturers, and continue to achieve justice for the victims.
