What Is Product Liability?

Product liability is an area of law that allows injured consumers to seek compensation when a defective or unreasonably dangerous product causes injury or death.

Unlike many personal injury cases, product liability claims often involve large manufacturers, national corporations, engineering experts, and extensive technical investigations. Whether the injury occurred in Corpus Christi or elsewhere in Texas, these cases often require extensive evidence gathering and experienced legal representation. 

Texas product liability cases commonly involve:

Every product sold to consumers has a legal obligation to be reasonably safe when used as intended.

Defective automobiles

Airbags

Tires

Medical devices

Prescription drugs

Children's toys

Household appliances

Industrial equipment

Construction equipment

Oilfield machinery

Power tools

Texas Product Safety & Recall Statistics

Every year, thousands of Americans suffer injuries because of defective consumer products, unsafe motor vehicles, dangerous medical devices, and recalled pharmaceuticals. While many manufacturers voluntarily issue recalls after discovering safety defects, others fail to act until consumers have already been seriously injured.

The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) oversees recalls involving thousands of consumer products, while the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) regulates vehicle safety recalls, and the U.S. Food & Drug Administration (FDA) monitors recalls involving prescription drugs, medical devices, food, and other regulated products. Together, these agencies work to identify dangerous products, investigate safety hazards, and notify the public when products pose an unreasonable risk of injury or death.

Product Safety by the Numbers

Product Recalls Don't Always Prevent Injuries

A product recall does not necessarily mean injuries have been avoided. In many cases, recalls are issued only after consumers have reported serious injuries, deaths, or widespread product failures. Additionally, many recalled products remain in homes, workplaces, and on the road because owners never receive or respond to recall notices.

If you were injured by a product that was later recalled—or by a product that has never been recalled—you may still have a valid product liability claim. A recall can strengthen evidence in a case, but it is not required to prove that a manufacturer or seller is legally responsible for a defective product.

At The Law Office of Joe Brad Brock, we investigate product defects involving consumer goods, automobiles, industrial equipment, medical devices, and dangerous pharmaceuticals. Our goal is to determine how the defect occurred, identify every responsible party, and pursue the compensation our clients deserve under Texas product liability law.

Types of Product Defects

The Coastal Bend is home to a diverse economy that includes refineries, petrochemical facilities, manufacturing operations, construction companies, healthcare providers, maritime businesses, and major transportation corridors. Defective machinery, industrial equipment, automotive components, medical devices, and consumer products can cause serious injuries both at work and at home. The Law Office of Joe Brad Brock represents clients throughout Corpus Christi, Portland, Robstown, Kingsville, Rockport, Aransas Pass, Alice, and surrounding South Texas communities who have been harmed by unsafe products. Texas product liability law generally recognizes three primary categories of defects.

Design Defects

Some products are dangerous before they are ever manufactured because the product itself was designed improperly.

Examples include:

  • SUV rollover risks
  • Defective vehicle fuel systems
  • Unsafe industrial equipment
  • Poorly designed medical implants
  • Dangerous consumer electronics

A safer alternative design may have prevented the injury.

Manufacturing Defects

A manufacturing defect occurs when a mistake during production makes an otherwise safe product dangerous.

Examples include:

  • Contaminated medications
  • Cracked vehicle components
  • Defective airbags
  • Improperly assembled machinery
  • Faulty electrical wiring
  • Weak welds

Only certain production batches may be affected.

Marketing Defects (Failure to Warn)

Manufacturers must provide adequate instructions and warnings regarding foreseeable dangers.

Examples include:

  • Missing warning labels
  • Inadequate operating instructions
  • Failure to disclose known hazards
  • Improper dosage instructions
  • Failure to warn about side effects
  • Lack of child safety warnings

Consumers have the right to understand the risks associated with a product before using it.
