Using Class Actions to Make Products Safer
When manufacturers and retailers put unsafe or defective products in the marketplace, they need to know that consumers expect safe products that work as promised. If you bought a product that you cannot use because it does not work or because it is unsafe, you have lost the money you spent on the product.
ClassAction.com: Fighting for Product Safety
Products should work properly and they should be safe to use. But when a $10 or even a $100 product is unsafe and the store won't take it back, what can you do? Hiring a lawyer costs too much. A defective merchandise class action lawsuit brings together many consumers who bought that product. If a lawyer files suit on behalf of all those consumers, it sends a message to the retailer and manufacturer and it compensates the consumers.

- Dangerous toys: After you bought the toy, you realized it could harm your child.
- Auto defects: Bad tires and defective brakes can be dangerous.
- Motorcycle and RV defects: Did your bike or ATV have defective parts that could be dangerous?
- Defective household products: Who will pay when a product is unusable?
- Defective power tools and industrial equipment: Safety guards should be in place.
- Improper labels: Did the instructions fail to provide warnings?
If an unsafe product has caused serious injury, you should talk to a personal injury lawyer about a product liability lawsuit. Because injuries vary widely from person to person, personal injury cases need individual attention and are not suited to class action litigation.
If you have purchased a product that is dangerous or defective, you should be able to get your money back or get the product fixed or replaced within a reasonable time. If the manufacturer or retailer refuses, contact ClassAction.com and share your experiences.
