Kansas City: Defective Products Lawsuits
Designers and manufacturers of consumer and industrial products have an absolute legal duty to design and build their products so that they are reasonably safe to use.
If you are injured by a consumer or industrial product, you may have a valid claim for a defective products lawsuit. A product liability lawsuit may be possible in the following circumstances:
- The product is unreasonably dangerous
- The product does not work as intended, causing injury
- The product is defective, or doesn't include a necessary part, causing injury
- The product does not include warnings about possible danger if the product is used incorrectly

NO RECOVERY—NO FEE
We have years of successful experience as personal injury attorneys. In our initial consultation, we are well-equipped to give you realistic and practical advice about whether you may have a valid legal claim for a defective products lawsuit.
Defective Products: A Simple Example - Defective products lawsuits arise when someone is injured needlessly because a product is unreasonably dangerous. For example, if you cut your finger because the knife you bought is very sharp—that knife is not defective. It is intended to be sharp. However, if you buy a kitchen knife designed and built with a slippery handle, and you cut your hand—then the product might fit the legal definition of a defective product. A sharp knife with a slippery handle is unreasonably dangerous, and the maker of the knife may be held legally responsible for your injuries.
