Faulty
Goods

When we buy a product or service, we expect them to be usable and in a safe condition. Sadly, many of shoppers or consumers know that this is not always the case and sometimes products can be defective and cause harm to the people in our lives and us.

At Ashwood Solicitors, we have a team of solicitors who can represent either individuals or groups of people to ensure they receive compensation for issues caused by faulty or defective products.

If a product has been sold to a consumer without any mention of a possible fault or defect and they are then harmed in some way, the person may be able to claim compensation.

Faulty products compensation

If a business supplies products to consumers, it must ensure that those products are safe. The producers (such as the manufacturer) have the biggest responsibility when it comes to safety; however, distributors have legal responsibilities as well. If a business fails to meet its obligations, it could face the consequences, including legal action, large fines and even imprisonment. Businesses have the potential to be sued by anybody who has been harmed in any way as a result of using the product.
