Product Liability Class Action Lawyers in Toronto

Product Liability Class Actions

Product liability class actions seek compensation for individuals harmed by the design, manufacture or sale of defective products. When products placed on the market are unsafe, ineffective, or improperly represented, manufacturers and other responsible parties must be held accountable.

A wide range of products may give rise to product liability claims, including medical devices, pharmaceuticals, motor vehicles, foods and beverages, beauty and cosmetics products, construction materials, and more. When defective products lead to injury, wrongful death, property damage or economic loss, we are committed to pursuing justice on behalf of those harmed.

Our lawyers approach every case with care and rigour. We conduct thorough investigations, retain leading experts to assess the causes and scope of harm, identify all responsible parties, and evaluate the prospects of success in obtaining meaningful compensation for our clients.

Product liability claims may arise from, among other things:

• Deficient product design at any stage of development;
• Negligent or deficient manufacturing or use of substandard materials;
• Failure to warn, or inadequate warnings, of possible risks and hazards;
• Failure to carry out timely recalls of dangerous or defective products; and
• Misrepresentation regarding a product’s safety, performance, or benefits.

Our lawyers have decades of experience litigating complex product liability cases, often against large multinational corporations. We have acted in matters involving major defendants, including:

• Toyota for defective vehicles;
• Pfizer and Merck Frosst for dangerous drugs;
• Maple Leaf Foods, on behalf of victims of a Listeria outbreak; and
• AMO and Abbott Laboratories, for contact lens care solution causing devastating eye infections and blindness.
