What is a Defective Product?

At Siben & Siben, we have been standing up for the consumer for decades, and we have seen a range of different defective products.  A defective product is any product that causes damage or injury to a person or property due to a defect in the product, it’s labeling, or the way that it is used.  In a defective product case, the manufacturer of the product as well as the retailer who sold the product to you can both be at fault, or held liable.  A Long Island product liability lawyer can argue that the manufacturer is liable for your injuries, although in many instances, the manufacturer will argue that you were negligent in your use of the product. Nonetheless, an experienced Long Island product liability lawyer will prove strict liability, which means that regardless of negligence, the product was defective and it was the source of your injury.  Examples of defective products include leaking breast implants or exposure to hazardous materials that cause cancer.
