Some of the most common instances of defective consumer product injuries and deaths recently have involved automobiles, pharmaceuticals, medical devices and tires. However, there are defective consumer products in many other areas. There are dangerous and defective toys, seat belts, appliances, power tools and products we use every day in our daily lives.
