Consumer Product Safety Commission Information

Minnesota, Wisconsin, and California Personal Injury Attorneys

At one time or another, most people have come across a product that they either thought was dangerous or may have actually injured them or a loved one. If the manufacturing company ignores your calls or letters reporting the problem, there is another place to turn. The United States has an agency called the Consumer Products Safety Commission, or CPSC. The CPSC oversees safety of most kinds of consumer products, excluding drugs, medical devices, food and automobiles. If you want to report a problem, simply log onto the CPSC’s web-site and click on “Report an Unsafe Product.” The CPSC monitors these reports and in most cases, will contact you for further information. The CPSC looks for reporting trends to determine whether product recalls are appropriate.

If you think a product is unsafe, help other consumers by reporting the problem to the CPSC. If you have additional questions about product liability in Minnesota, Wisconsin or anywhere in the country, visit our web-site for more information about consumer’s rights.

If you have been injured by a dangerous or defective product, there are critical steps you need to take to protect a potential product liability claim against the manufacturer. The most important step is to preserve the product in the same condition it was in at the time of the injury. The product itself is often referred to as the “crown jewel” evidence in product liability cases. If the dangerous product is owned by the injured person, she should preserve it in a safe place. Of course, people injured by dangerous products often don’t own or have any control over this critical evidence. In those instances, the injured person should contact a lawyer to help protect this crucial evidence. It is important to involve a lawyer in your product liability claim early to not only preserve the product, but other key evidence.
