Charged with protecting children and families against unreasonable risk of injury and death, the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) has jurisdiction over approximately 15,000 types of consumer and recreational products. These products range from halogen lamps to hairdryers, lawnmowers to coffee makers and trampolines to power tools. Far too many of these items – nearly 61 million consumer product units in 2008 alone – prove to be defective and dangerous to their unsuspecting users. From furniture to footwear, sports equipment to car seats and everything in between, hidden dangers lurk in items we use and assume to be safe every day. We encourage you to visit the CPSC Web site at http://www.cpsc.gov/ to learn more about product recalls and consumer safety.

If you or a loved one has been injured by a dangerous or defective product, it is crucial to consult with an experienced personal injury lawyer as soon as possible. Our skilled trial lawyers can help you secure all of the compensation to which you may be entitled. This may include compensation for pain and suffering, financial loss, emotional distress and past, current and future medical expenses. In some cases, you may also be entitled to punitive damages for another party’s wrongdoing. Our dedicated attorneys can also help you deal with your insurance company, as well as the insurer of the other party or parties. The insurance companies have lawyers working hard to minimize their payouts; you need a lawyer who will work just as hard for you.
