The sheer number of products we use on a day-to-day basis is staggering. From everyday items of utility to sophisticated computing machines or hi-tech drugs, our lives are filled with a variety of products and items. Products are assembled from parts made in 20 different countries by a multitude of manufacturers with many different standards of safety and quality assurance. It becomes a labyrinth of confusion trying to ensure that those items used by our families, friends and children are safe.
The toys our children play with in some cases were later found to have contained lead and other toxic chemicals. Even pet food has been found to contain unacceptable and undisclosed chemicals. We have relied upon government laws and inspectors to provide protection against dangerous and defective products, but in many cases the danger has only been discovered after the damage has been done. The responsibility lies with the manufacturers and providers of the goods we purchase and consume. When they fail to provide safe products, innocent victims suffer the consequences. One powerful remedy is to pursue compensation against the manufacturer and others in the production and distribution channels. This is best done with the help of a St. Petersburg personal injury lawyer.

Types of Dangerous Products
A large number of dangerous products have been from the medical or pharmacological industry including some highly popular drugs or supplements as Fen-Phen, Accutane, Ephedra, Paxil, Xanax and Prozac. The side effects were discovered later, including violent behavior, suicidal impulses, and death from overdoses. Some drugs were found to cause birth defects and expecting mothers were not warned that their child would be born with serious physical problems. Some nursing mothers were not informed that they must stop taking the drug or their child could be damaged.
