What are Faulty Products?

Trading Standards receive around 33,000 complaints each year regarding unsafe products. These products then have to be tested and checked to ensure that they meet the correct safety measures. Of course not all of these products fail their testing as the amount of products that are actually recalled each year is a lot lower than 33,000.

When you purchase a product you are expecting said product to be in excellent condition and not pose a threat to your health or property. In most cases this is true but there are times when a product that you have purchased can be faulty and as a result you will suffer.

If you do receive personal injury due to a faulty product you may wish to claim for compensation. Out of all the compensation claims that are brought forwards concerning faulty products, 95% of them are normally successful. This high rate however isn’t down to nothing; when it comes to claiming for compensation after an injury due to a faulty product you need to be able to prove that your personal injuries are the responsibility of another person. You have to be able to demonstrate the exact default of the product and highlight exactly how this default caused you personal injury.

Thanks to the Consumer Act 1987 claiming for personal injury compensation due to a faulty product has been made a lot easier. The Consumer Act 1987 has already helped countless people claim for the compensation that they deserve after being injured due to a faulty product. The Consumer Act 1987 covers all goods, including ones used in the workplace such as food materials and building and construction material as well as agricultural needs.

Household appliances such as kettles, irons and toasters etc are often at the forefront of faulty product compensation claims. However when it comes to product recall, toys are the most common source found in this category. The reason behind this is because the manufacture of toys has the highest safety measures because if anything goes wrong with a toy it is a child who will suffer as a result of it so if complaints are received regarding faulty toys the chance of that product being recalled is extremely high.

One aspect of claiming for compensation due to a faulty product that often becomes more difficult is when the faulty product concerns a cosmetic product. This is because personal injury surrounding cosmetic products usually results in skin allergies but when you buy cosmetic products such as soap, shower gels, hair-dye, and make-up or perfume you should have already checked to see if you are allergic or sensitive to any of the ingredients within them. If however you have checked the ingredients and still end up suffering personal injury then you have a good chance of a successful compensation claim.

Another controversial aspect of claiming for personal injury compensation is when it concerns medical supplies. If you suffer side affects that aren’t stated on the medication that you are using then you could be entitled to compensation or if the medication that you are using has inaccurate packaging/instructions it could result in misuse. Misuse of medication can result in not only serious personal injury but also dangerous personal injury. The affects that you could suffer have the potential to be life threatening.
