Product Liability

We promote product safety in order to minimize the potential for products liability claims.

We promote product safety in order to minimize the potential for products liability claims. An effective product safety management program can reduce the potential for accidents and product recalls, reduce insurance premiums, increase the safety and quality of products, and provide a more defensible product and company in the event of litigation. We can review a company’s product safety program and develop recommendations that would enhance the existing controls in order to achieve the objectives listed above. We have considerable experience with assessments of manufacturers of high hazard products with considerable sales in the United States (e.g. toy manufacturing, pharmaceuticals, automotive products, heavy machinery, food processing, chemical manufacturing, etc.).

We perform product liability assessments through site visits and phone surveys. These assessments focus on the following areas:

Contracts/Agreements
Product Design
Marketing/Advertising Concerns
Reliability Testing
Warning Labels and Instructions
Records Retention Programs
Supplier Selection and Controls
Recall Procedures
Complaint Handling and Investigations
Quality Control Programs
Hazard Analysis and Critical Control Points Analysis
