PRODUCT LIABILITY LAWS IN FLORIDA

While there are no limits to all of the ways a product can be defective, under Florida product liability laws, all claims of defect are placed into one of the following three categories.

Design Defects

The first step in bringing a product to market is the design phase. Products must be designed and engineered and foods and medications must be formulated to be safe. And an important step of the design phase involves testing the product to assure the product functions safely and does not pose any physical danger to the user and is safe to consume.

Sometimes in a rush to get a product, food or medication to market, it may have not been tested enough to identify faulty or dangerous aspects of the design or formulation. If a new product was not sufficiently tested to assure that it is safe for anyone to use or consume, they can be found liable and responsible for your injuries.

Manufacturing Defects

When a product’s design and safety testing has been properly completed, the next step is manufacturing. During the entire time a product, food or medication is being manufactured, ongoing quality control must take place to monitor for defects or problems with proper manufacturing or formulation.

If proper quality control steps are not maintained, defective products and dangerous foods or medications could be sold to consumers. If a manufacturer fails to consistently produce a product that is safe for consumers and allows a dangerous product, food or medication that they manufactured or formulated injure you, they can be held liable for your injuries under Florida law.

Instructions and Warnings

Before a product is released and made available to consumers, detailed instructions for use and preparation must be provided with the product to guide consumers on how to safely use and prepare the product. This is particularly important with products such as power tools, electric appliances and accessories, but there are countless other products, foods and medicines that if used or consumed improperly or consumed after improper preparation can be dangerous and in some cases deadly.

If you were injured while using a product or consuming a food or medication and believe that proper instructions for use and important warnings were not provided, you may be entitled to compensation for your injuries and losses. hold on to the product, it’s packaging and any paperwork that came with it and speak with our product liability lawyers in Jacksonville at (904) 358-3300.
