Defective Toasters, Blenders, Other Household Appliances Linked to Serious Injuries

Toasters, microwave ovens, and other household appliances are used in virtually every American home as a way to make life a little easier. However, these modern conveniences may be defectively designed or manufactured and can cause death, injuries, and extensive property damage.

Faulty electrical wiring inside ovens and other household appliances can spark fires which can gut a kitchen or entire home in a matter of minutes. Defectively designed food processors and other kitchen appliances can cause burns, cuts, and other injuries to users.

Consumers who are injured by defective household appliances may qualify to receive financial compensation for their medical bills and other costs associated with the injury. Companies that manufacture, distribute, or sell faulty products have an obligation to market products which are reasonably safe for their intended purpose. When consumers are injured by defective household appliances, these companies may be financially liable for damages.
