Indiana lawyers representing clients injured by defective products
Product manufacturers have a legal responsibility:
- To see that products are designed to be reasonably safe for the intended user
- To see that products are properly manufactured to meet safety standards for use
- To provide clear warnings and instructions on how to safely use their product
When dangerous products harm consumers, manufacturers can be held liable for failing to meet their legal responsibility.

- Spray paint cans

The National Consumer Product Safety Commission recalls hundreds of products every year. Even so, many Americans are injured, and some even die from faulty products.
From bad product design, such as SUV roofs that crush during rollover, to medications that become contaminated during storage, the manufacturer, distributor, or retail store is responsible for consumer safety.
Attorneys at Yosha Cook & Tisch have experience handling products liability cases and may also retain experts knowledgeable in product design, manufacturing, materials, and human factors considerations. Because of the complex nature of these cases, it makes sense to contact an attorney who is seasoned and has experience in this area of the law.
