Arkansas: Burn Injury Causes
Manufactured products are sometimes faulty and cause fires, excessive heat, or smoke which in turn can create first, second, or third degree burns. Almost any defective electrical product can result in a burn but some common defective products include space heaters, fire extinguishers, electric blankets, power adaptors, and air purifiers. Tea kettles and deep fryers are examples of defective kitchen products that may cause burn injuries in Arkansas.
The manufacturers and sellers of dangerous or defective products that burn consumers can be sued for negligence under various circumstances, including:
- Failure to inspect or test the product before placing it on the market
- Creating a flaw in the product
- Failure to discover a flaw in a product
- Failure to discover that the product could be dangerous
- Failure to warn or adequately warn of a risk or hazard associated with the product
In some cases, the seller and manufacturer can also be sued for strict products liability. Here, proof of negligence isn't necessary as it can be shown that the product was defective and unreasonably dangerous. A Arkansas burn injury attorney can identify the party responsible for your injury, represent you in a defective product claim, and fight for the compensation you deserve.
