Poorly designed or improperly manufactured household appliances are responsible for thousands of
injuries and
deaths each year. In addition, many purchasers of appliances fail to operate the items properly. For instance, each year over 130,000 fires occur because appliance owners place the appliances too close to flammable materials such as newspapers or fabrics such as curtains or bedding. Additionally, thousands are
poisoned each year from emissions of
carbon monoxide from household appliances. Unfortunately, appliance manufacturers often fail to warn buyers of the dangers associated with their products.
If you have been injured by a defective appliance, it may be important to
contact an attorney who can help you protect your legal rights. Please keep in mind that there may be
time limits within which you must commence suit.
