Defective Consumer Products – Injury Litigation
When everyday products go dangerously wrong, the damage isn’t just physical—it’s personal, costly, and often preventable. As a defective product injury lawyer serving California, Tennessee and beyond, we help people seriously hurt by faulty consumer products pursue meaningful legal action. From battery fires to unsafe children’s items, we take on high-stakes product injury claims with a disciplined approach.
We Handle Serious Consumer Product Injury Cases
We’re not a volume shop chasing small claims. Our firm focuses on substantial injuries caused by defective products—cases where the harm is real and the system failed. If you’ve been hurt by a product that malfunctioned, exploded, collapsed, or caught fire, we’ll evaluate your case with honesty and experience.
Common cases we handle include:
-
Lithium battery fires (e.g., e-bike or scooter explosions)
-
Defective bicycles or sporting equipment (e.g., Kent Bicycles litigation)
-
Faulty home electronics and appliances
-
Unsafe children’s products or toys
-
Products subject to recall that caused harm anyway
Whether your injury happened in California and anywhere in Tennessee, we’re equipped to investigate and pursue legal claims against manufacturers and distributors.
Understanding How Liability Works in Product Cases
You don’t have to prove intent to win a product case. In many situations, it’s enough to show the product was defective and caused harm. Here’s how liability typically breaks down:
-
Strict liability – Most product injury claims fall here: the product was unreasonably dangerous when used as intended.
-
Negligence – The manufacturer failed to test, warn, or fix a known hazard.
-
Breach of warranty – The product didn’t live up to its express or implied promises.
We’ll help you determine the right legal path based on your specific case. And if the facts don’t support a claim, we’ll tell you that too.

We Know the Product Safety Landscape
Product recalls don’t always happen in time. Some never happen at all. We stay informed on Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) alerts, recall lists, and emerging risks. If you were injured by a product that’s now recalled—or should have been—we’ll investigate its history and pursue appropriate claims. Manufacturers have a duty to warn. When they don’t, we act.
Talk to a Product Liability Attorney
Not every injury leads to a case. But if a product defect caused serious harm, we’ll evaluate your situation—clearly and without pressure. We don’t chase weak claims or offer false hope. If you’ve got a case worth pursuing, we’ll tell you why and how. And if not, we’ll give you straight answers.

FAQ
What qualifies as a defective consumer product?
Any product with a design flaw, manufacturing defect, or lack of warning that causes harm may be considered defective under the law.
What should I do if I was injured by a recalled product?
Keep the product if possible, seek medical care, and document your injuries. Then contact an experienced product liability lawyer to assess your claim.
Can I sue if the product didn’t have a recall?
Yes. A product doesn’t need to be recalled to be dangerous or defective. We evaluate claims based on the facts, not recall status alone.
How long do I have to file a claim for a defective product injury in California or Tennessee?
California law generally allows you two years from the date of injury. Tennessee law generally allows you one year from the date of injury. It’s important to speak with a lawyer right away to preserve your rights and evidence.
Can I join a class action or mass tort for my product injury?
Possibly. If multiple people have been injured by the same product, you may be eligible to join a larger case. We’ll evaluate whether your situation qualifies.
