As a consumer, you probably don’t give too much thought to the safety of the products that you purchase or consume. Most of us operate on the assumption that the things that we buy are safe and free from defects, and legally speaking you have a right to that expectation. Unfortunately, the high level of trust that we put in the manufacturers, distributors and designers of the things that we purchase is all too frequently misplaced. A product’s initial design may be flawed or it may have been manufactured in a haphazard way, causing injury and even death. When this happens the people who made and sold the product are legally responsible for the damage that it causes. The Philadelphia product liability lawyers at Bochetto & Lentz are determined aggressive advocates for those who have suffered these types of injuries.
