Defective Products Encompass Many Things.

When you think of a defective product your mind may immediately go to a car, or the tires it sits on, or a toy, medicine, a prescription drug, an appliance, something you ate in a restaurant, or some product that was manufactured with a safety guarantee.  There are dozens of examples of defective products.

Hot coffee and the proper warning label may be included on that list.  Remember Stella Liebeck?  The name may not resonate with you, but I will bet that you have heard of the McDonald’s Hot Coffee Case.  Stella was an Albuquerque resident who spilled McDonald’s scalding hot coffee on herself.  You can look up the case for yourself and see how it turned out.

One of the lead attorneys on the McDonald’s Hot Coffee Case still practices personal injury law in Albuquerque New Mexico and throughout the Great Southwest.  His name is Ken Wagner and his team at www.kenwagnerlaw.com will help you with your defective product case.  Please call the ABQ office for a free consultation at (505) 242-6300.

Is it Safe?

No, this is not a line from a movie uttered by Laurence Oliver to Dustin Hoffman.  This is all about the products that America uses every day.  The very items that we trust to be safely manufactured and distribute for daily use may be the ones that kill or injure you or a loved one.  It happens every day in this country.

Cars, the tires that move them, the medicines that you take, the medical devices that you use, the toys that your kids play with, the restaurant food that you consume.  These things and much more are products that you trust when you use or consume them.  If something goes horribly wrong because of a manufacturer’s neglect action must be taken.

If you could choose anyone in the country to represent you do you think it might be the attorney who lead the fight in winning the McDonald’s Hot Coffee Case?  There is no more famous product neglect case than this one.  Give me Ken Wagner and his team every time!  If you are anywhere in the Great Southwest call the Albuquerque office right away at (505) 242-6300.

Some Holiday Toys That Could Hurt Your Kids.

No one wants to take the joy out of the holiday season, but it pays to be cautious when buying Christmas presents that may be hazardous to your children.  Did you know, for example, that McDonalds issued a toy in its Happy Meal a couple of years ago that had to be recalled?  It was called the “Hello Kitty Whistle”.  Two kids choked on parts of it that came loose before it was recalled!

The Ace Bayou Bean Bag Chair claimed the life of a 10 year old boy in Texas and a 3 year old girl in Kentucky when they suffocated within it.  Have you ever heard of the Cannondale Tandem Bicycle?  A problem with the fork of this particular bicycle has caused riders to lose control.  Consumer Reports tells us that 5000 Americans a year die in bicycle accidents.

 

Just be vigilant this holiday season.  Give gifts that are age appropriate.  When you do, monitor the use of those toys and games by your children.  If you ever discover a defective product, contact Attorney Kenneth Wagner.  The winner of the McDonalds Hot Coffee Case has been protecting people in the Great Southwest from defective products for decades from his Albuquerque office at (505) 242-6300. 

Your Rights against Defective Products.

It seems like hardly a week goes by that we don’t hear about a “product recall”.  Items that seem perfectly safe upon purchase may cause serious injury or even death to some Americans.  Right now you or a loved one is still reeling from the mishap that was caused.  Now you need to find out if you have a possible personal injury claim.

There are three main types of product defects.  They are…

1.  A defect in the design.  Even though these items may have been tested and re-tested some of these products have been sold to the public and ARE defective.

2.  Defects at the head-end.  A mistake is made at the manufacturing level that is not caught in time.

3.  Defects in the warning labels.  This may be the worst because an inadequate warning gives you a false sense of security.

Hopefully neither you nor your family will be affected by any of this.  But if you reside in Albuquerque, New Mexico, or anywhere in the Great Southwest the man who won the McDonald’s Hot Coffee Case is ready to listen to your case.  That’s right, defective product attorney Ken Wagner.  Without hesitation call Attorney Ken Wagner now at (505) 242-6300.

Bad Restaurant Food.

This time of year we find ourselves dining out more often.  Who wants to cook in the summer when the kids are out of school?  Well if you are going to eat at the local diner, mom may be getting a break, but you may be subjected to a variety of health issues from the grub you are consuming from potential carelessness from the wait staff and even other diners.

It may be totally without malice.  It may even occur in the restaurant parking lot, but if something happens that injures or sickens a member of your family during what should have been a pleasant experience you need to be compensated.  Don’t take a bad restaurant visit lying down.  Someone in your family may be entitled to compensation.

Should that be the case, would you like to be represented by the man who won the famous McDonald’s Hot Coffee Case?  I sure would!  That man is New Mexico restaurant lawsuit attorney Kenneth Wagner.  If you have a serious case against a dining establishment in the Great Southwest let Ken and his staff put their half-century of experience to work for you.  Give them a call at (505) 242-6300.

 

A Lesson about Defective or Unsafe Products.

Every day most of us encounter a defective product.  We all have blind faith that the products we purchase are safe and will not cause us injury.  There is a term that you have certainly heard called “product liability”.  This law is designed to protect the public from irresponsible manufacturers, distributors, and retailers from selling us goods that cause injury or even death.

There are so many different types of products that may be hazardous to your health.  Look at this list…

1.)           Vehicles

2.)           Shuttle buses

3.)           Tires

4.)           Medicine

5.)           Medical products and devices

6.)           Children’s toys

7.)           Common household products
