When you bring an item into your home, you want it to be as safe as possible for you and your family. While most household items are harmless and do what you need them to do, some can become dangerous if they’re fire hazards.

If a product malfunctions and causes a fire in your home, then you could have a product liability claim against the seller, manufacturer, or company responsible for the product and its defects. A lawyer from Golden Law Office can help you hold the negligent party responsible for their actions so you can get justice for the damages you suffered.

Every year in the United States, thousands of individuals file product liability lawsuits. Many of these lawsuits are directed towards toy or automobile manufacturers and pharmaceutical companies. While these lawsuits are common in the legal world, they can be incredibly complex. Our Lexington product liability lawyers understand these complexities and are here to fight for you.

What is a product liability lawsuit?          

A product liability lawsuit seeks to hold product manufacturers responsible in the event that their products cause harm when used as intended.

When manufacturers disregard or refuse to address these issues, product liability can come into effect.

A product liability lawsuit can be filed for any product that is for sale to consumers, medical institutions, and businesses. Some of the most products include defective electronics, toys, vehicles, or medical equipment.

Golden Law Office is now accepting cases related to the valsartan recall. If you or a loved one has taken medication with this ingredient and suffered from the possible side effects, whether short-term or long-term, contact our valsartan recall lawyer today to find out about your legal rights.

Valsartan is a generic antihypertensive drug used to treat high blood pressure and heart failure. The brand name is known as Diovan. The U.S. Food & Drug Administration (FDA) recently recalled several drugs containing valsartan when an impurity was detected in a research setting.

The impurity, N-nitrosdimethylamine (NDMA), is considered a possible human carcinogen, based on laboratory testing. The current assumption is the NDMA’s presence was brought about when the manufacturing process was changed.

When there is an issue with a product that endangers the consumers, the product will be recalled. This year, a drug called Clopidogrel was voluntarily recalled by International Laboratories, LLC in January because it was mislabeled, which could lead consumers to take the wrong drug or wrong dose. While the product had the label “Clopidogrel Tablets USP 75 mg,” there’s a chance the product contains Simvastatin Tablets USP 10 mg.

Claims against drug companies can be difficult for someone to handle on their own. When your health is concerned, you want to make sure someone is acting in your best interests. A Lexington product liability lawyer from Golden Law Office can help you protect your rights.
