Every year, thousands of consumers sustain serious injuries from dangerous and defective products.

Based in Pasadena, we serve clients throughout the greater Los Angeles area.
Defective Product Injuries
The law in California is favorable for injury victims in defective product lawsuits, if your lawyer knows how to investigate and properly prepare the case. Manufacturers are liable for a product that is unsafe as designed, for a flaw in a particular unit, or for failure to warn the end user of dangers from intended or reasonable use. You do not necessarily have to prove that the manufacturer was negligent. Product liability claims, often called strict product liability, can also be established if you are able to prove that a produce was defective, that the product was defective, that the defect existed prior to the manufacturer releasing the product and the defect caused your damages.
Defective product claims includes instances of inadequate warnings. Often manufacturers and their marketers fail to adequately the dangers associated with the use of their production. They must specifically state how that product should be used and warn you of the hazards.
Our experienced trial lawyers have access to engineers and other experts who can examine the machine or product and to determine whether the item was defective. The law firm of Russakow, Ryan & Johnson has demonstrated success in a wide range of product liability claims:
- A woman who sustained retinal damage when she opened the battery compartment of her son's toy
