Any product can be defective, but certain categories of products typically pose more risks than others. • Heavy equipment and machinery can lead to death if defectively designed, not properly used or improperly maintained. • Vehicle defects in cars, buses, trains and other forms of transportation can cause fatal accidents. • Products that emit toxic vapors, fumes or have caustic properties can be fatal and must provide adequate warning in regards to protective clothing and ventilation. • Certain prescription drugs may have dangerous side effects if consumed in a certain way. • Contaminated food can spread diseases or illnesses that pose a major health risk. If someone you know has died as a result of faulty equipment or inadequate labeling of dangers, you may be eligible for compensation from the manufacturer.
