Injured by a Defective Product in NYC?

If you were injured by a defective or dangerous product in New York City, you may be entitled to financial compensation. From faulty electronics and kitchen appliances to unsafe vehicles and hazardous medical devices, defective products can lead to serious, sometimes life-altering injuries. Manufacturers, distributors, and retailers may be held liable under New York law for putting unsafe products into consumers’ hands.

Our New York City product liability lawyers represent clients in all five boroughs—Manhattan, Brooklyn, Queens, the Bronx, and Staten Island. We handle complex injury claims involving defective products and offer free consultations to help you understand your rights.

What Is a Product Liability Claim?

Product liability is the legal responsibility of a manufacturer or seller for placing a defective product in the hands of a consumer. In NYC, a product liability claim can be based on:

1. Design Defect – The product is inherently unsafe due to poor design.
2. Manufacturing Defect – The product became dangerous during the production process.
3. Failure to Warn – The product lacked adequate instructions or warnings about potential risks.

These claims do not always require proof of negligence. If the product was defective and caused injury during foreseeable use, you may have a case.
