A claim for product liability may arise from a variety of circumstances. 

1. Autos or Auto Parts with Defects

   Automobiles and auto parts with defects or poor design are fairly common and can have disastrous effects. Any vehicle component, including the vehicle itself, may be impacted by auto part problems. Defective airbags can cause facial and chest injuries, including skull, rib, and wrist bone fractures. The airbag may deploy too soon or even a split second late due to a damaged airbag sensor. As drivers take a curve, poorly constructed, top-heavy SUVs frequently roll over. Vehicles may unexpectedly accelerate without the driver hitting the accelerator due to flaws in the throttle systems, gas pedals, or floor mats, which can lead to major accidents.

2. Healthcare Equipment

   During manufacture or shipment, medical devices may sustain harm. There may be a concealed defect in a device or a malfunctioning or damaged part. Patients get negative effects when a device doesn't work as intended. Hip replacement components that broke are one example of bad design, as were pelvic mesh implants that decomposed and hurt internal organs.

3. Liability Claims for Food and Beverage

   Food manufacturers, food processing or bottling firms, grocery stores, restaurants, cafés, pubs, fast-food chains, catering companies, and others may be subject to product liability claims lawsuits at any moment for packaging problems and product flaws. Food poisoning, which results in significant disease, can be brought on by spoiled food or expired ingredients. Choking hazards, food poisoning, and life-threatening illnesses can all be brought on by foreign objects and foreign substance contamination in food. Gravel, metal, glass, wood, plastic, insects, and hair are among the items that have allegedly been discovered in food. 

4. Recreational Gear with Defects

   While most injuries sustained during leisure activities are unintentional, faulty recreational equipment can result in or worsen major mishaps and injuries. Manufacturers of recreational equipment and parts may be held liable for the sale of faulty goods or for failing to recall them. Products including weight machines, treadmills, scooters, skateboards, boats, kayaks, canoes, trampolines, climbing and hiking equipment, scuba and snorkeling equipment, car storage racks, and bicycles or bicycle parts are all liable to product liability lawsuits.

   Failure of bicycle equipment is all too common. The most frequent bicycle components that malfunction and cause bikers to lose control of their vehicle are defective wheels, forks, and frames, particularly those constructed of carbon. This can result in serious injuries, including arm and wrist or collarbone fractures.

5. Medications

   Lawsuits involving product liability frequently center on the adverse effects of prescription pills and other medications. Drugs can be improperly manufactured and contaminated during processing, for the pharmaceutical company to fail to adequately warn of potentially harmful side effects that could result in serious health problems or complications, or the pharmaceutical company, doctor, or pharmacist fail to give clear instructions or sufficient warnings about how to take the medication as prescribed. Customers who experience one of these extremely harmful side effects from a prescription medicine may file a product liability lawsuit.
