Dangerous Products
Unsafe Products Can Result in Serious Injury or Death
We live in a complex and technical world in which we expect the products we purchase and use to be designed and manufactured in such a manner that they are safe for our use. We also expect that the sellers and manufacturers of products will give us reasonable warnings of dangerous propensities of their products.
Unfortunately, not all designers, manufacturers and sellers of products live up to these expectations and the requirements of our laws with regard to their products. At Choulos, Choulos & Wyle, we are a highly specialized law firm dedicated to representation of survivors who are seriously injured or killed as the result of defective or incorrectly designed or manufactured products. Our lawyers help clients throughout California who have been injured as a result of unsafe or defective products. We handle a wide variety of product liability cases that involve serious injuries or wrongful death. We handle claims against the manufacturers of all types of defective medical devices; defective drugs; and any other dangerous or defective product that caused a serious injury.
We Sue the Makers of Dangerous Prescription Drugs
Unfortunately, it seems that pharmaceutical companies place more value on profits than on public welfare. Claims against the manufacturers and sellers of defective drugs are becoming more and more common. Some of the prescription drug litigation with which we deal are Zyprexa, Baycol, Ephedra, Propulsid, PPA, Meridia, Rezulin and Phen-Fen.
When Medical Devices are Defective, You Need Protection
Defective medical devices have also provided the basis for serious claims, and we handle claims against the manufacturers of all types of defective medical devices as well. Some of the claims we pursue relate to devices such as silicon breast implants, contraceptive devices such as IUDs, Shiley heart valves, hip prostheses, and knee replacements.

About Defective Products
The three basic ways a product may be defective is by design, manufacture or failure to warn of dangerous propensities of the product. In some situations manufacturers may be liable for punitive damages.
Companies responsible for the manufacture and sale of a product must take reasonable measures to ensure the safety of their product. The design must be tested, the manufacturing process must be reasonable and the accompanying instructions or labeling must clearly warn about any dangers. A product liability claim can often be brought against the manufacturer, supplier or distributor of a defective product when it has failed in its responsibilities and has created a dangerous product, created a flawed product, failed to inspect a product, failed to properly test a product or failed to discover or warn of a danger associated with a product.
