Dallas, Texas, Product Liability Attorney
Although most of the products we use every day are safe, and despite the fact that most manufacturers follow stringent design standards to minimize risk to consumers, dangerous and defective products are still in the news all the time.
Some products are unsafe due to poor design. In other cases, dangerous materials such as lead or toxic chemicals have been used in their manufacture, or a manufacturing defect causes the product to break. When this happens, people injured using the product have what is called a "product liability" claim.
If you have been injured or a loved one has been killed by using a defective product, turn to a lawyer who will protect your rights without compromise. I am Dallas product liability attorney Dan A. Atkerson, and I have been representing injured people and their loved ones for more than 25 years.
I handle cases involving virtually any type of defective product, including consumer goods, industrial machinery and tools, toys, clothing, car parts and many others. I offer a free initial consultation with every client to discuss your product liability injury and what can be done about it.

Many people do not that realize that manufacturers, distributors, wholesalers, and retailers - anyone responsible for putting products on the market - must ensure their products are reasonably safe. When useful items pose dangers that can't be easily reduced, manufacturers are required to provide effective warnings of those hazards.
Under the law of product liability, it is generally unnecessary to prove that the producer of a dangerous or faulty product was negligent. The law holds producers of all products strictly liable for injuries caused by the use of their goods.
Protecting Children From Dangerous Toys
Most toys are safely designed and manufactured, but recent years have shown a surge of toy recalls due to faulty design or manufacturing. Dangerous toys and baby products pose significant health risks to children, and a recall often does not happen until a number of children have been injured. Product liability claims can force toy manufacturers and designers to be vigilant about preventing dangerous children's toys from ever entering the market.
Dangerous toys have included those with:
- Choking hazards
- Lead paint or other heavy metal content
- Batteries that leak
- Inadequate instructions, hazards warnings or age-appropriate labels
