What Is A Defective Product?
Steele Adams Hosman is proud to serve Salt Lake City and communities throughout Utah with trusted legal representation for individuals injured by dangerous and defective products. Consumers have the right to expect that the products they purchase and use are reasonably safe when used as intended. When manufacturers, designers, distributors, or retailers place defective products into the marketplace, the consequences can be devastating.
Defective products cause thousands of serious injuries every year. From unsafe vehicles and defective medical devices to dangerous household products and industrial equipment, product failures can result in catastrophic injuries, permanent disabilities, and wrongful death.
At Steele Adams Hosman, we help injury victims hold negligent corporations accountable and pursue the compensation they deserve after being harmed by dangerous products.

Product liability cases differ from many other personal injury claims because responsibility may extend to multiple parties involved in designing, manufacturing, marketing, or selling a product.
Potentially liable parties may include:
Unlike traditional negligence claims, some product liability cases may focus on the condition of the product itself rather than the conduct of an individual.
Steele Adams Hosman investigates every aspect of a product’s development, distribution, and failure to determine who should be held responsible.
Product liability refers to the legal responsibility companies may have when products cause injury because they are defective or unreasonably dangerous.
Manufacturers have a duty to ensure their products are reasonably safe before they reach consumers.
When they fail to meet that responsibility, victims may be entitled to recover compensation for resulting injuries and losses.
Product liability cases generally fall into three primary categories:
A design defect exists when a product is inherently dangerous because of the way it was designed.
Examples may include:
In these cases, every product produced according to the design may present similar risks.
Manufacturing defects occur when mistakes happen during production.
Examples include:
These defects often affect specific batches or units rather than an entire product line.
Manufacturers must provide adequate warnings and instructions regarding foreseeable risks.
Failure-to-warn claims may arise when companies:
Product liability claims can involve a wide range of consumer and commercial products.
Vehicle defects may involve:
Medical devices can cause severe injuries when they fail unexpectedly.
Examples include:
Medication-related claims may involve:
Common household products can create risks when defects are present.
Examples include:
Defective machinery may cause catastrophic injuries in workplace and construction environments.
Defective products can cause a wide variety of serious injuries.
These may include:
Many victims require treatment at facilities such as University of Utah Health, Intermountain Medical Center, or LDS Hospital following serious product-related accidents.
Product recalls often occur after injuries have already happened.
While recalls can provide important evidence, a recalled product is not required to pursue a claim.
Manufacturers sometimes issue recalls involving:
If you believe a defective product caused your injury, preserving the product may be critical to your case.

I cannot recommend Mikayla Shaw highly enough. After being involved in a car accident, I was overwhelmed by the insurance process and everything that came with it. Mikayla took care of everything on my behalf, making the entire experience as stress-free as possible. She was incredibly responsive throughout the case, always available to answer questions and provide updates. More importantly, she genuinely cared about my well-being and made me feel supported every step of the way. Thanks to her hard work and expertise, she was able to secure the full insurance settlement payout within one year of the accident. Her professionalism, dedication, and compassion exceeded my expectations. If you’re looking for an attorney who will fight for you while treating you like a person rather than just another case, I highly recommend Mikayla Shaw.

No one wants to be in a situation where they need a personal injury attorney. My siblings and I found ourselves in such a situation last year (August 2025) when our mother was struck and killed in a pedestrian auto accident. We didn’t know what to do or how to navigate the world of insurance claims and/or a possible lawsuit. Luckily, I already had trusted friends at Steele Adams Hosman and knew who to call. They handled everything with such grace and compassion and kindness. The case just closed and we can’t be more grateful for their help. If you’re looking for a team that 1) knows what they’re doing, and 2) handles your case with professionalism and care, Steele Adams Hosman is a great option.
