Defective product claims

Defective product claims could be made if you have been hurt because an item was faulty or not fit for purpose.
Everything sold in the UK must adhere to certain quality and safety standards to confirm they are fit for use and suitable for their intended purpose.
If when using a product it is sub-standard or faulty and you or a loved one is hurt it can be possible to make a defective product claim against the manufacturer or retailer.
Such product liability claims can hold those responsible to account and help to keep other consumers safe. In the event of widespread problems with a certain item, you could be part of a group liability claim. Injury at work claim.
