Countless products can be dangerous or even deadly if used improperly. Manufacturers have a duty to provide adequate warnings against such risks.

Most products undergo rigorous testing before hitting the market. During that process, anticipated dangers come to light — dangers which should spur strategic, effective warnings to help consumers avoid tragic accidents. The right warnings can mean the difference between life and death.

WHAT MAKES A WARNING EFFECTIVE?

Failure to warn of known risks or foreseeable hazards is often a factor in product liability cases. All warnings are not created equal. Even if warnings were present, they may not have been effective.

No cut-and-dry formula exists for determining whether a particular warning is legally sufficient. Several “ingredients” must be considered. For example:

• Was the warning sufficiently detailed?
• Was the scope of the warning too broad or too narrow?
• Were there too many warnings, diluting the effectiveness of those most serious?
• Was the warning clearly visible?
• Was the warning written or displayed in an easily understandable manner?
• Were there warning decals (stickers) on the product itself?
• Was the size of the wording, pictogram or label too small?
• Was the warning in a noticeable color to alert the consumer of its presence?

Our attorneys understand the nuances of what makes a warning effective. We take a strategic, hands-on approach to carefully investigating issues surrounding product warnings. Our firm works with a renowned team of experts in scientific and technical fields to dig into the specifications of each product.
