The ever-expanding global economy continues to increase cases of corporations, manufacturers, distributors and merchandisers selling defective, dangerous and sometimes deadly products to the American consumer.

   Your purchase is their profit and when you buy something form a company and take it into your home, it should be free from defects that can cause serious injury or death.

   At Associates and Bruce L. Scheiner, Personal Injury Lawyers, our attorneys and staff members are experienced in handling defective product lawsuits.

   Each year, 33.1 million U.S. consumers are injured by products in their home, according to the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission, which estimates product incidents cost the nation more than $800 billion a year.

   And you've probably heard about some of the massive, high-profile recalls of recent years: pool drains, Toys from China, poison dog food, infected beef and prescription drugs that had been highly touted on television by their manufacturers.

   But the fact is many consumers never become aware of dangerous or defective products -- in January 2008 alone the Consumer Product Safety Commission listed 38 recalls or sanctions against companies who sold products that failed to meet minimum safety standards.

   Every year, thousands of people in Florida are injured by defective products. In many cases, these injuries were caused by a design defect or by negligence in the manufacture of the products. When this is the case, Florida product liability law gives you the right to be compensated by the manufacturer.

   If you believe you have a defective product liability claim, call today for a free evaluation of our case. With four decades of experience in product liability litigation, our promise to you is simple: You'll pay us nothing unless we win.
