Top 10 Product Recalls and How to Avoid Defective Products

Cutting edge technology coupled with research and development and the need to keep up with the rest of the competition have made all today’s products better and safer, right?

According to ExpertRECALL, the awful truth is that as many as 5 to 10 product recalls are made every day because of dangerous or defective products. Recalls do not happen exclusively to certain companies and leave the rest spared – all companies experience it, the only difference is when.

Here is a compilation of the Top 10 Product Recalls ever made in the United States which range from products like cars to cribs and medicine to milk:

It is easy for consumers to stick to a particular brand or even just rely on labels and advertising. But sometimes, consumers themselves would have to be vigilant about the product they buy, read its information careful and not merely pick off the shelves. Here are some of the most common product defects buyers should look out for:

• Manufacturing Defect – Manufacturing defects are not always apparent as the defect is made present only during the production process. This often refers to poor quality products. An example would be salmonella contamination in peanut products because of poor, ill-kept manufacturing facilities.
• Dangerous Design Defect – The defect itself is inherent because it is due to the dangerous design of the product. Ford Pinto’s fuel tank position was the cause of many disputes as its placement could easily trigger a massive explosion in case of a rear-end collision.
• Marketing or Failure to Warn Defect – This usually arises when there is insufficient information, labels or warnings or even a manual about the proper use of a product. An ordinary product, like a pasta sauce can be dangerous to people with peanut allergies if there are no labels that indicates that it contains peanuts.

But even the most careful consumer can be a victim of defective products – worse, they sometimes even get hurt by its use as aptly shown in this list.

In case of injury or death caused by the use of a dangerous or defective product, the aggrieved consumer can recover expenses incurred and economic and non-economic damages from the manufacturer of the product by filing a product liability claim.
