Were You Warned That the Product Was Dangerous?
A product can be dangerous because of faulty design, manufacturing defect, or because the product is dangerous by its nature. Obviously, retailers, design firms and manufacturers are not going to warn customers that their products suffer from faulty design or manufacturing, but they are required to provide adequate warning if the product is dangerous by its nature.

Warnings
Some products are dangerous by their nature. Designers, manufacturers and retailers are still able to bring these products to the marketplace, of course, but there are some general principles about warning customers of the dangers:
- Warning needs to be clear and obvious: If a product is seriously dangerous, it is required to make sure no one can miss the warning.
- Warning needs to be comprehensive: The warning needs to cover every aspect of the danger involved with using the product. If the consumer follows the warning instructions perfectly and still gets hurt, there's definitely a problem with the warning.
- Not limited by the products intended use: Even if you were injured using the product incorrectly, there could be liability if the use was foreseeable, even if incorrect.
If you suffered a serious personal injury or wrongful death of a loved one because a product's warning was inadequate, there are probably others in the same situation. We might be able to file a class-action lawsuit to increase the money damage awards.
