Defective Product Liability

Legal Help for Injuries Caused by Dangerous or Faulty Products

When you buy a product, you expect it to be safe. But every year, defective consumer goods, tools, vehicles, and medical devices cause serious injuries — sometimes even death. If you or a loved one has been harmed by a dangerous product, Perskie - Byrne Injury Lawyer is here to help.


Our firm represents victims of defective product injuries across New Jersey, holding manufacturers, distributors, and retailers accountable for the harm caused. Based in Linwood, we have the legal experience and resources to take on complex product liability cases — and the dedication to make sure your voice is heard.

What Is Product Liability?

Product liability is a legal term that refers to a manufacturer or seller being held liable for placing a defective product into the hands of a consumer. New Jersey law allows injured parties to bring claims when a product:



  • Has a design defect that makes it inherently dangerous

  • Suffers a manufacturing defect that causes it to function improperly

  • Lacks adequate warnings or instructions, leading to unsafe use

These claims can be brought under theories of negligence, strict liability, or breach of warranty — and we know how to build a case that meets New Jersey’s legal standards.

Examples of Defective Products

Defective products come in many forms, and nearly any type of item can lead to injury if it's not designed, manufactured, or labeled correctly. We handle cases involving:


  • Auto defects (airbags, seatbelts, brakes, tires)

  • Children’s toys or products (choking hazards, toxic materials)

  • Power tools and construction equipment

  • Household appliances

  • Prescription drugs or over-the-counter medications

  • Medical devices (implants, pumps, surgical tools)

  • Contaminated food products or supplements

  • Defective electronics (fires, burns, electrocution)

If you were seriously injured by a product — or lost a loved one due to a fatal malfunction — we’re here to hold those responsible accountable.

Who Can Be Held Liable?

Product liability claims may involve multiple parties in the chain of distribution. Depending on the facts of your case, we may pursue compensation from:

  • The product manufacturer

  • A parts or component supplier

  • A retailer or distributor

  • A marketing or packaging company

  • A testing laboratory

Our firm will investigate your claim thoroughly, determine all liable parties, and take the necessary legal action to recover compensation.

FAQs About Defective Product Claims

  • What if the product wasn’t recalled — can I still file a claim?

    Yes. A product does not have to be recalled to be defective. If the product was unreasonably dangerous and caused you harm, you may still have a valid claim.

  • How long do I have to file a product liability claim in New Jersey?

    Typically, you have two years from the date of injury. However, deadlines may vary depending on the circumstances. Don’t delay — speak to a lawyer right away.

  • Do I need to keep the defective product?

    Yes, if possible. Keeping the product, packaging, and any receipts can significantly strengthen your case. If you no longer have the item, we can still investigate.

  • Can I sue a retailer for selling a defective product?

    In many cases, yes. Retailers can be held responsible if they sold a product that caused injury, even if they did not manufacture it.
