Defective Consumer Product Lawyers – Salt Lake City, Utah
Protecting Utah Families from Dangerous Everyday Products
Trial-Tested Representation for Victims of Unsafe Products
Defective Consumer Products Can Cause Serious, Unexpected Harm
From kitchen appliances and space heaters to children’s toys and tools, consumer products are part of our daily lives. But when these products fail — due to design defects, manufacturing flaws, or missing warnings — the results can be catastrophic. Burns, amputations, electrocution, and even death can result from items we trust to be safe.
At Mortensen & Milne, our Utah product liability attorneys represent individuals and families harmed by defective consumer goods. We act fast to preserve the product, document its failure, and build a trial-ready case against the manufacturer, distributor, or seller.
Trial Preparation Makes a Difference
Corporations fight aggressively to avoid responsibility — and insurance carriers defend them fiercely. Our courtroom reputation forces them to take your case seriously. Whether through verdict or settlement, we pursue justice without compromise.
Common Defective Consumer Product Cases We Handle
Defective Home Appliances
Exploding pressure cookers, faulty space heaters, microwaves, or ovens that cause fires or burns due to product design or inadequate warnings.
Dangerous Children’s Toys & Baby Products
Choking hazards, toxic materials, or poorly constructed items that cause serious injuries — including cribs, walkers, and bath products.
Unsafe Power Tools & Equipment
Tools that break, overheat, or lack proper guards or instructions — including saws, grinders, nail guns, and ladders.
Defective Chargers, Batteries & Electronics
Lithium-ion batteries and electronics that explode, catch fire, or malfunction during normal use — often causing burns or house fires.
Faulty Furniture & Household Items
Dressers that tip over, collapsing chairs, or unstable shelving that results in injury or death — particularly for children.
Products Without Adequate Safety Warnings
Even if the product “works,” manufacturers must warn about known dangers. We litigate cases where risks were hidden or minimized.
