Faulty Product Compensation
When we buy products we would expect them to have been tested, checked and safe to use, and most of the time they are. So what happens when we buy a product but are injured when using it?
Whatever it is you have purchased, be it an electrical or other consumer or pharmaceutical product, you may be entitled to make a claim for compensation if the item has caused you injury.

Product Liability Claims
Manufacturers of any product have a responsibility to the consumers that purchase their products. This means they should follow all the necessary safety and testing procedures before the product goes to market. If a product causes injury through poor instruction of use, poor design, recommended age group was incorrect, damage in manufacturing process, no warnings with product, or a failure to recall a product identified as dangerous, then you may be able to make a claim for compensation.
Here are some examples of types of faulty products:
- Electrical products that cause a fire
- Chairs that collapse when sat on
- Pram and pushchair injuries
- Faulty products include food and drink. If you have got food poisoning you can claim compensation from the supplier of the food or drink
- Hair styling equipment overheating causing burns
- Cosmetics and creams causing rashes
When making a compensation claim regarding a faulty product you can also claim the costs of any treatment you have had as a result of the injury. By drawing attention to the faulty product you may also help in preventing others being injured as when there have been several injuries the manufacturer should issue a recall of the said product.
