Fontana Defective Products Lawyer | Banner Attorneys

Every year, tens of thousands of consumer products are recalled due to dangerous defects, faulty designs, or hazardous performance issues. From automobiles and household appliances to toys, medications, and medical devices, these recalls are often initiated after serious injuries or deaths have already occurred.

Government agencies such as the Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC), the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), and the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) have the authority to issue recalls and consumer warnings. Yet, despite these protections, the number of recalls has risen by nearly 60% in less than a decade, putting millions of defective products back into circulation each year.

Unfortunately, even with oversight and voluntary recalls by manufacturers, consumers continue to suffer devastating injuries and losses. If you or a loved one has been harmed by a dangerous product, you need an experienced Fontana defective products attorney to fight for your rights and secure the compensation you deserve.

What Is Defective Product Liability?

Defective product claims fall under product liability law, a branch of personal injury law that holds manufacturers, distributors, and retailers accountable when their products cause harm. Consumers should be able to trust that the products they buy are safe. When that trust is broken, and a product causes injury, illness, or death, manufacturers can be held legally responsible.

The most common types of product liability include:
Manufacturing Defects – The product design is safe, but something went wrong in production that made it dangerous.
Design Defects – The product is inherently unsafe due to flawed design.
Failure to Warn (Marketing Defects) – The manufacturer failed to provide proper instructions, warnings, or safety labels about known risks.

Defective products can cause catastrophic harm, from vehicle accidents due to faulty parts, to children’s toys containing toxic materials, to hazardous drugs and medical devices that put lives at risk. These failures are not only dangerous but preventable—and negligent parties must be held accountable.

Common Examples of Dangerous Product Recalls

The U.S. government maintains Recalls.gov, a central hub of recall information across six federal agencies. Consumers can use it to check if a product they own has been recalled. Categories include:

• Consumer Products – appliances, electronics, furniture, children’s products, clothing, sports equipment (via CPSC)
• Motor Vehicles – cars, trucks, motorcycles (via NHTSA)
• Boats – defects and recalls (via U.S. Coast Guard)
• Food – contaminated or mislabeled items (via FoodSafety.gov)
• Drugs & Medical Devices – defective medications, unsafe medical equipment (via FDA)
• Cosmetics & Personal Care Products – unsafe or contaminated products (via FDA)
• Environmental Products – hazardous chemicals and substances (via EPA)

Important: Recalls.gov provides information on government-initiated recalls only. It is not a tool for filing injury claims or seeking compensation.
