Defective Product Claims
Living in the UK, we expect all of the products we buy to be of an acceptable quality and safe to use. Unfortunately this is not always the case, and thousands of consumers each year are harmed or injured by goods or services they have purchased. If this has happened to you, you can claim defective product compensation with help from personalinjury.co.uk.
Injuries caused by defective products
Some of the most common types of injuries caused by defective products include:
- Burns or electrocution caused by electrical equipment
- Poisoning caused by contaminated food products
- Scarring or burns to the skin caused by contaminated cosmetics or cleaning products
- Burns from using a dangerous product bearing insufficient usage instructions
- Injuries after falling from a faulty ladder
- Allergic reaction to hair dye with insufficient instructions
- Poisoning caused by lead parts or paints in toys
- Inadequate servicing or faulty car parts that cause an accident
- Defective drugs and medical products
- Injuries following cosmetic procedures performed by a beautician or hairdresser
If you have suffered an injury because of a defective product, you may be entitled to make a compensation claim against the manufacturer or trader. It is always important to keep any documentation about the product including receipts, instructions, the packaging and the item itself, to be used as proof in your claim.
