Defective Products and Liability Issues
In the U.S., we enjoy a robust regulatory system that prevents defective products from reaching the market. Unfortunately, many defective products slip through the cracks every day, risking the health and safety of our families and friends. To protect consumers, the skilled Tennessee products liability attorneys at Baker Associates help to fill in the cracks by diligently working to help you enforce your rights against negligent manufacturers and sellers of defective products in Tennessee.
The following recalled products present significant risks of personal injury in Tennessee and throughout the nation:
Atico International USA recently recalled 500 thousand units of its “Signature Gourmet” and “Kitchen Gourmet” coffeemakers sold exclusively at Walgreens. These coffee makers can ignite due to defective wiring. So far, there have been 23 reports of these coffee makers igniting and causing property damage.
General Electric (GE) has recalled 28 thousand GE Profile “Freestanding Dual Fuel Ranges” because of faulty wiring that has caused at least 14 instances of property damage.
Stanley and Solarwide Industrial have also recalled 78 thousand of their “Stud Sensors 200” and “Stanley Fat Max Stud Sensor 400”. These products can fail to calibrate, which results in conduction of AC electrical current. If it detects AC, a potential shock hazard is created presenting significant risk of serious personal injury to the user. These products have been sold at home improvement and hardware stores across the nation since 2007.
The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission has issued a recall for “Zoo” pacifiers made by Healthtex. The nipples on these pacifiers can separate from the base easily and cause a choking accident. 40 thousand of these pacifiers have been sold nationwide in supermarkets and pharmacies.
