Faulty products

We are a nation of consumers and while we expect all the products we buy to be safe and in good condition, this isn’t always true.  Anything from cars to cosmetics to cleaning products can cause an injury if they aren’t up to scratch.  If you’ve suffered an injury caused by a faulty product, you may be able to claim compensation.

Types of injury

There are laws in place to protect you from faulty products.  The sort of injuries you might suffer from could include:

• Burns caused by a electrical equipment catching fire
• Scarring caused by contaminated cosmetics
• A broken arm caused by falling off a defective ladder
• Poisoning caused by contaminated food bought in a shop.
  

You can also make a claim if you are injured by a service provider, such as a hairdresser or beautician.

Causes of faulty products

There are four main reasons products may be faulty:

• Contamination during manufacturing
• Poor design of a product
• Failure to display sufficient warning on a product
• A manufacturer failing to recall a product they know is faulty.
  

Manufacturers can’t escape liability just by putting a term in a contract. 

Ensure you keep the faulty product and any documents relating to your claim, such as packaging, instructions and receipts.
