Product Liability

Wagstaff & Cartmell has a local, regional, and national product liability practice, representing both plaintiffs and defendants in complex product liability litigation in state and federal courts.

Product liability claims involve allegations that one or more “defects” in a product rendered the product dangerous to a user, consumer, or bystander, and resulted in injury or death. A product may be alleged defective in the way it was “designed,” or in how it was manufactured, or in how it was marketed or labeled (i.e., “failure to warn”).

In addition to its national practice in drug and medical device litigation, Wagstaff & Cartmell attorneys have significant experience in multiple state and federal jurisdictions in many other kinds of product liability cases, involving, for example:

• Asbestos
• Automobile Defects
• Benzene
• Child Seats
• Gas/Propane Appliances
• Household/Recreational Products
• Industrial Equipment
• Swimming Pools
