Product Safety and Liability

PD&H attorneys have many years of experience addressing product safety issues, including working with product manufacturers and distributors to ensure their consumer products meet all safety requirements, and defending product manufacturers when their products are alleged to have caused injury.  Our attorneys have litigated and defended cases across the country involving consumer products, pharmaceuticals, medical devices, and other products.  We are experienced at proactive liability planning and liability risk assessment, including assessing individual products for liability risk.  Typical matters involve:

• Defending against claims of injury arising from consumer products, pharmaceuticals, or medical devices
• Managing product recalls
• Participating in ASTM product standards development
• Consumer Product Safety Commission product standards development
• Proactive liability planning and product stewardship
• Insurance claims

Our clients have been product manufacturers, generic pharmaceutical and medical device manufacturers, and even charities running national clothing recycling programs.  In all cases, we work closely with our clients to provide expert product safety and product liability guidance to minimize product liability and regulatory risk.
