Consumers expect that any product they buy will be safe for their families. But every year, hundreds of defective products are recalled under product liability because of faulty manufacturing or design. In some cases, these defective products are only recalled after they have already harmed numerous adults and children. Defective consumer goods have caused just about every type of injury imaginable, including burns, fractures, head injuries, blindness, and even death.

Under the Ohio Product Liability Act (Ohio Rev. Code § 2307.71–2307.80), there are three main categories of product defects that can lead to a claim:
Marketing Defect (Failure to Warn): A medication is sold without a clear warning label about the serious risks of taking it with a common pain reliever.
Do not throw the product away or attempt to repair it. Preserve it exactly as it was at the time of the injury. Keep any packaging, instructions, receipts, and labels. The product itself is the single most important piece of evidence in your case. Your product liability attorney and expert witnesses will need to inspect it to determine what went wrong and to prove your claim under the Ohio Product Liability Act (Ohio Rev. Code § 2307.71–2307.80).
Yes, absolutely. A product recall is a separate administrative action taken by a company or government agency to remove a dangerous product from public sale. The recall does not automatically compensate you for your specific injuries. You still have the right to file a product liability lawsuit to recover damages for your medical bills, lost wages, and pain and suffering caused by the defective product.
In Ohio, the statute of limitations for product liability claims is generally two years from the date the injury occurred or was discovered. It is crucial to act quickly, as there is also a "statute of repose," which typically prevents any lawsuit from being filed more than 10 years after the product was originally sold. It is vital to contact a product liability attorney as soon as possible to ensure these strict deadlines are met.
Ohio law allows you to hold any party in the "chain of distribution" responsible. This can include the original product manufacturer, the designer, the wholesaler or distributor, and the final retail store that sold it to you. This is often based on a legal theory called "strict liability," which means you may not have to prove the company was negligent, only that the product was defective and caused your injury.
