Faulty products and the law

The law in England and Wales says that consumers must be protected from harm. This responsibility falls to the manufacturer, the distributor or the seller. This legal obligation is known as ‘product liability’. 

The law in England and Wales says that consumers must be protected from harm. This responsibility falls to the manufacturer, the distributor or the seller. This legal obligation is known as ‘product liability’. This means you should be able to use a product for its intended purpose without being injured. For example, you should be able to clean the kitchen with a cleaning product without suffering burns. Or straighten your hair with hair straighteners without being electrocuted.  

If you are injured by any product, when using it for its intended purpose, it means something has gone wrong. It could be that the product is dangerous, perhaps because it has been poorly designed. Or maybe it is defective. 

If so, the manufacturer, distributor or seller has failed to protect you from harm. You are able to pursue a claim against those responsible. This makes sure that you are properly compensated for the injuries you have wrongfully suffered. 

Examples of faulty product claims

Every day we use a vast range of products. Each one has to be “fit for purpose”.

However, every day people are injured through no fault of their own because of :

  • Electrical equipment and appliances, such as washing machines, dishwashers, phones, hairdryers or TVs
  • Cosmetic products, such as makeup or creams 
  • Children’s toys or children’s equipment, such as buggies or highchairs
  • Cleaning products
  • Dangerous machinery
  • Products used by professionals, such as medical products or hair products

The injuries associated with faulty product claims are extremely varied. Typically, they include burns, soft tissue damage, fractures, suffocation, respiratory problems and allergic reactions. 

This is by no means an exhaustive list. If you or your child have been harmed by a faulty product, contact us for advice.

I contacted Nia and from the first discussion she treated me with compassion, empathy but importantly was exceptionally knowledgeable. I found both Nia and Katerina to be diligent, knowledgeable and importantly tenacious.
