The NHTSA is investigating the cause of the motor vehicle fires to determine if a defective product recall is needed.
Personal Injury Lawyers Represent Victims Injured by Defective Products
Defective products are dangerous and can cause life-changing injuries and can require victims to receive ongoing medical treatment in the future. In many cases, manufacturers of the defective products could have prevented the injury by using additional caution in manufacturing and designing process of defective product.
The Consumer Product Safety Commission says deaths, injuries, and property damage from defective consumer product incidents cost the nation more than $900 billion each year. In addition to defective motor vehicles, the CPSC also monitors children’s toys and furniture, power tools and household chemicals that pose fire, burn, explosion and other risks and can lead to serious injuries or deaths.
