Richmond County, Georgia defective product attorney

What is a ‘defective’ and ‘unreasonably dangerous’ product? Courts dealing with such a question may often consider:
• the usefulness and desirability of the product;
• the availability of other and safer products to meet the same need;
• the chances of injury and its probable seriousness;
• the obviousness of the danger;
• if the injury can be avoided by exercising care in the use of such (including the effect of warnings and instructions); and
• the option to eliminate the danger without seriously impacting the usefulness of the product or making it unduly expensive.

If you have defective product claim, consult an experienced Richmond County, Georgia defective product attorney. Judges realize that few products, such as pharmaceuticals, cannot be made absolutely safe but nevertheless are very valuable to mankind. In these cases, the seller will be relieved of strict liability when the seller prepared and sold the product properly and adequately informed user about the risks associated with the product.

If a product could reasonably have been designed with a greater degree of safety, a proper warning will not necessarily transform the unreasonably dangerous product into a safe, non-defective one. A proper warning however, may change certain dangerous products, that would be defective without the warning, into reasonably safe products. To be effective, the warning should be thorough and conspicuous and it must warn the consumer of the extent of the risk associated with not following the product's warning instructions.
