Kentville Defective Products Lawyer
The products purchased from local retailers or online merchants should not, if used in accordance with their advertised safety instructions, cause consumers to sustain physical injuries. However, when negligence throughout the manufacturing and distribution process occurs, harmful, defective products could be released for general sale, thereby putting countless consumers at risk of injury.
Injury-causing accidents arising from the use of defective products are often the result of their manufacturer’s negligence. Throughout the process of designing, assembling, packaging, and distributing a non-commercial consumer item, negligence can manifest itself through a variety of wrongful actions, errors, and other forms of misconduct.
Products could be designed in a defective manner. An error in the manufacturing process could render the product defective and potentially dangerous for use. Testing of the product’s safety could be conducted improperly. A product’s safety instructions, labeling, packaging, or advertising could fail to sufficiently communicate the risks associated with the product’s improper use. These, and other violations of the safety protocols legislated by the Canada Consumer Product Safety Act (CCPSA) could be considered negligence. Similarly, manufacturers who learn about dangerous defects associated with a product they have released for sale but fail to notify the proper authorities of the potentially hazardous error could be considered negligent when their wrongful inaction leads to consumer injuries. Negligent product manufacturers may be liable for financially compensating the consumers who have been injured by the defective products they have made available for sale.
All businesses across the country that manufacture, import, sell, advertise, package, label, or test non-commercial consumer products must comply with the safety regulations mandated within the CCPSA. These nationwide rules and protocols exist to help reduce the risk of harm to human health as the result of defective products, including:
- Domestic items (e.g. appliances, furniture, etc.)
- Recreational items (e.g. children’s toys, games, etc.)
- Sports items (e.g. equipment, gear, safety pads, etc.)
- And possibly more
