Few people anticipate that items they purchase online or at local retailers might be unsafe for use, particularly if they comply with the safety instructions included with the product. Unfortunately, because of errors, omissions, or other forms of negligence throughout the chains of production and distribution, hazardous, defective products could be released for public sale.
Products that are designed or assembled in a negligent manner could malfunction and cause its user to sustain injuries. Similarly, products with packaging or safety instructions that insufficiently communicate how the item should be used in order to reduce the risk of injuries could result in a tragic, life-changing accident.
In accordance with the Canada Consumer Product Safety Act (CCPSA), companies that manufacture, package, advertise, import, and distribute the non-commercial consumer items are required to comply with strict federal safety guidelines. Unfortunately, because of manufacturer negligence, potentially harmful consumer products could be released to the public for sale. When this happens, the very lives of unsuspecting consumers could be put in jeopardy.
If you were injured by a defective product, there is a chance your injuries were the result of its manufacturer’s negligence. Negligent manufacturers whose wrongful actions lead to injury-causing consumer accidents may be liable for the damages incurred by the injured parties. Common examples of manufacturer negligence include:
- Designing the product in a defective manner
- Ignoring errors in the manufacturing process
- Conducting safety tests improperly
- Providing insufficient safety warnings
- Failing to adequately communicate the risks associated with the product on its packaging/safety instructions
- And more
If a manufacturer learns that the product they have built, packaged, or sold has hazardous defects that could endanger its users, they are responsible for alerting the authorities so that a nationwide recall, advisory, and safety alert can be issued. Failing to do so could also be considered negligence.
