Manufacturers of goods, tools, equipment and anything available for purchase by a consumer have a responsibility to make sure their products are safe for use. Where a risk may be involved, the company must warn potential consumers so that they can avoid injury or illness. Sadly, many manufacturers may cut corners on product testing, fail to disclose known risks and defects, or downplay the possible adverse effects of their products.
Decades Of Experience
When you or a loved one has suffered an injury or illness due to a faulty or defective product, you may have the right to compensation for your pain and suffering, and losses. Our attorneys at the Ponder Legal Group, are experienced product liability attorneys with decades of experience representing individuals who have suffered at the hands of large corporations and manufacturers.
We Represent Clients in Mass Tort Cases
In many cases, a popular product can cause injury or illness to a large group of people throughout the country. Cases such as these may be grouped into what is called a “mass tort” – a set of similar lawsuits that are treated as a group for speed, efficiency and consistency. There are other types of cases called class action cases. We also represent clients in these. We can help you assess your right to compensation, and support and guide you through the process.
Our Ongoing Product Liability Lawsuits And Mass Torts
Some of the current and ongoing product liability cases on which we've been focusing and representing include:
Mesothelioma And Asbestos-Related Disease
Asbestos has long been known to cause malignant mesothelioma (a form of cancer) and other severe health risks. If you've been diagnosed with this deadly form of cancer, it's critical to inform your doctor of any past asbestos exposure. Our legal team at the Ponder Legal Group has years of experience representing victims of asbestos exposure and helping them recover compensation.
Roundup
The International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC) released a statement indicating that Roundup's primary active chemical compound, glyphosate, may be linked to non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL), a life-threatening form of cancer. We are investigating cases in which individuals have used this popular weed killer and have been diagnosed with NHL.
Our team is currently accepting new cases involving Roundup injuries. Call 888-201-0303 or email today to schedule a free consult with one of our experienced attorneys.
Firefighting Foam
Firefighting foam, also known as aqueous film-forming foam (AFFF), has been the go-to firefighting technology for oil-based fires for over five decades. Thousands of firefighters, both in and out of the military as well as those at airports, have been continuously exposed to AFFF and have suffered significant harm as a result.
Talcum Powder
Thousands of victims have contracted various forms of cancer after repeated exposure to products containing talc.
Tire Defects
A tire blowout or lack of tire traction can result in a catastrophic automobile accident, often involving many vehicles. In many cases, blowouts are due to manufacturing defects, improper installation or irresponsibility on the part of another driver who failed to change their tires when they should have.
