Products Liability and Product Defects

We use products every day—without thinking twice about whether they’re safe. From appliances and electronics to medical devices, vehicles, and children’s toys, consumers trust that the items they purchase will function as advertised and not put their health at risk. But when a product is defectively designed, poorly manufactured, or lacks adequate warnings, it can lead to serious injuries or even death. If you or someone you love has been harmed by a defective product, you may be entitled to compensation under California product liability law.

At Farzan Law, attorney Alex Farzan represents individuals who have been seriously injured due to dangerous and defective products. We understand how these cases can turn your life upside down—physically, financially, and emotionally. Our firm is committed to helping you hold corporations accountable and fighting for the compensation you need to recover and move forward.

What Is Product Liability?

Product liability refers to a manufacturer or seller being held legally responsible for placing a defective product in the hands of a consumer. These claims typically fall under strict liability law, meaning you don’t have to prove the company was negligent—only that the product was defective and caused injury during normal, foreseeable use.

There are several ways a product can be considered defective. Some products are flawed in their design, meaning they were dangerous from the start, even before production. Others are safe in theory, but errors during the manufacturing process make them unsafe. In some cases, the product itself may not be defective, but the manufacturer or distributor failed to include appropriate warnings, safety instructions, or usage guidelines. When any of these scenarios results in consumer injury, the company can be held liable.

Common Types of Defective Products

Defective product cases can involve a wide range of consumer goods. We’ve seen cases involving vehicles with faulty airbags, household tools that overheat or explode, prescription drugs that cause undisclosed side effects, and children’s products that pose choking or strangulation risks. Even seemingly minor items like phone chargers or kitchen appliances can become extremely dangerous when not manufactured or labeled properly.

No matter the product, if it fails during expected use and causes serious harm, you have the right to demand answers and accountability. These cases are about more than just compensation—they are about preventing future injuries and forcing companies to prioritize consumer safety over profits.

Injuries and Damages in Product Liability Cases

The consequences of a defective product can be catastrophic. Depending on the nature of the product failure, victims may suffer burns, lacerations, broken bones, head trauma, electrical injuries, internal organ damage, or exposure to toxic chemicals. In medical product cases, patients may require revision surgeries, long-term treatment, or be left with permanent disabilities. Tragically, some victims do not survive.

When a defective product causes injury, you may be entitled to compensation for medical expenses, lost wages, reduced earning capacity, ongoing rehabilitation, pain and suffering, and emotional distress. In the case of fatal injuries, surviving family members may pursue a wrongful death claim. These damages are intended not only to help you rebuild your life, but to send a message to manufacturers that safety failures will not go unpunished.

How Farzan Law Can Help

Product liability claims are complex. Large corporations and insurance carriers have entire teams of attorneys whose sole job is to limit their financial exposure. That’s why it’s critical to work with a firm that understands how to investigate product defects, identify all liable parties, and build a powerful case backed by evidence and expert testimony.

At Farzan Law, attorney Alex Farzan takes a hands-on approach to every case. We begin by conducting a thorough investigation into the product, how it was used, and how it failed. We work with engineers, product safety experts, and medical professionals to demonstrate how the defect directly caused your injuries. Our team handles all communication with manufacturers, insurers, and opposing counsel so you can focus on recovery. If a fair settlement isn’t offered, we are fully prepared to take your case to trial.

We handle these cases on a contingency fee basis, which means you don’t pay us unless we win. No hourly fees. No upfront costs. Just honest, aggressive representation with one goal—getting you the justice and compensation you deserve.
