Faulty types of product
This can be literally anything that you have purchased that, when used or consumed in the manner that it is supposed to be, has harmed you in the process.
Examples of faulty products include
- Household furniture such as an office chair that collapses under your weight. Some quite serious back accidents have happened this way.
- Electricals -washing machines, dishwashers and any other electrical appliances with faulty electrics have the capacity to cause electric shocks or fire leading to burns and other such personal injuries.
- Food – whether from a supermarket, restaurant, deli or other such vendor – they should all know how to keep their food fit for consumption. If they do not then others may fall ill from the same problem.
Making a claim
Firstly, there needs to be clear evidence that the personal injury or illness sustained was because of the specific product in question.
Secondly, you need to notify the product manufacturer and / or distributor as this will help prevent the same from happening to others. Alternatively, we can do this for you. This is also very important to the success of your claim.

Product Liability Law
A dangerous or defective product is one that does not meet standards that we can reasonably expect. It doesn’t include products that are worn out or old, nor does it include products that were originally distributed with the knowledge of a safer version coming out subsequently.
In weighing up a product liability case we would look to discover:
- Advertising tactics used to market the product
- Instructions that came with the product
- The purpose or use for which it was intended
- When the product was purchased
Consumer protection Act 1987
Fairness to consumers of faulty products is detailed nice and simply on the Outlaw website
Government health & safety guidelines
There is a government web page that looks to spell out the precautions a manufacturer or distributor of products should abide by.
Food Hygiene Standards
A food hygiene course will give a fresh food wholesaler or vendor such as a restaurant, all the knowledge they needed to keep their food fit for consumption.
