Faulty Consumer Goods Claims

Defective product solicitors at Leigh Day have extensive and wide-ranging experience of successfully representing consumers who have been injured, have died, or who have suffered serious damage to their property because of faulty consumer goods, including white goods such as fridges, freezers and dishwashers.

News stories about personal injuries, or even deaths, caused by faulty consumer products have hit the headlines in recent years and they include the 'toxic sofa' claims where individuals suffered burns and rashes from faulty leather sofas; claims on behalf of children who suffered amputation injuries when using defective pushchairs; compensation claims for people affected by house-fires caused by defective electrical goods; hair dye claims for compensation for people who have suffered burn injuries and catastrophic allergic reactions after using hair dye; and claims for people injured in car crashes caused by defective brakes. The team is also experienced in successfully handling claims on behalf of people who have suffered from food poisoning or food allergies.

The product liability team at Leigh Day has supported many families through the inquest process.
