Watkins & Eager lawyers have deep experience handling individual and mass tort cases involving consumer products. We defend manufacturers of a full range of consumer products, including household appliances, food and tobacco, sports equipment and bicycles, power tools, electrical and gas-powered equipment, child products, and more. Many of our representations have involved allegations of death and serious injury.
With over 40 years of experience defending hundreds of product liability cases, we understand the public perceptions and expectations regarding the responsibility of product manufacturers. Our lawyers draw on insights gained through trials and motion practice to counsel clients on how to minimize the risk of future claims. We also assist our clients with governmental investigations and recalls, matters involving the Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) and the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), as well as related requirements and laws such as the Consumer Product Safety Improvement Act (CPSIA).
