PRACTICE OVERVIEW
Holding Manufacturers Accountable for Dangerous Products — Trusted Legal Representation in Charlotte & Kinston, NC
When you purchase a product, you trust that it will function safely and as intended. But when manufacturers, distributors, or retailers cut corners or fail to warn about risks, innocent consumers can suffer serious harm. At The Emory Law Firm, our skilled defective product lawyers in Charlotte and Kinston, North Carolina fight for individuals injured by dangerous or faulty products—and we hold negligent companies accountable.
What Is a Defective Product?
A defective product is one that is unreasonably dangerous when used as intended. Product liability claims can arise when a product has a design flaw, a manufacturing defect, or inadequate instructions or warnings that lead to consumer injury or death.
Common Types of Product Defects:
- Design Defects: Flaws in the product’s blueprint or concept that make it inherently dangerous
- Manufacturing Defects: Errors during the production or assembly process that make a product unsafe
- Failure to Warn (Marketing Defects): Inadequate instructions, labeling, or safety warnings that fail to inform the consumer of known risks
Examples of Defective Product Cases
Our firm handles a wide range of product liability cases, including those involving:
- Dangerous toys or children’s products
- Defective auto parts (airbags, brakes, tires)
- Power tools and industrial equipment
- Household appliances and electronics
- Exploding batteries and vaping devices
- Contaminated food or packaging
- Furniture tip-overs and unsafe ladders
- Medical devices and consumer healthcare products
Who Can Be Held Liable for a Defective Product?
Under North Carolina product liability law, several parties in the supply chain may be legally responsible for injuries caused by a defective product:
- The product manufacturer
- Component part manufacturers
- Product designers or engineers
- Wholesalers and distributors
- Retailers that sold the product
Our legal team investigates each case to identify all liable parties and pursue full compensation on your behalf.
