Obtaining Compensation for Defective or Harmful Products on the Market

Avoid these 5 defective products that can potentially cause significant harm:
1. Onewheel Electric Skateboards
At BCH Law, we have successfully recovered compensation for individuals who have been injured or lost a loved one in Onewheel nosedive accidents. The Onewheel is a self-balancing electric transportation device that can reach speeds of up to 20 miles per hour.
Despite its growing popularity, the device is suspected of containing a significant design defect that causes it to suddenly shut off and nosedive toward the ground. The force of the impact can violently throw a rider off the device resulting in serious harm.
Our attorneys have filed wrongful death lawsuits on behalf of families who have lost loved ones while riding on a Onewheel. We continue to litigate product liability cases against the manufacturer, Future Motion, Inc.
2. GMO Products
Individuals who have suffered significant health problems related to the consumption of food with genetically-modified organisms (GMOs) may be entitled to compensation. Eating GMO products, such as Monsanto’s corn, has been linked with serious ailments, including tumors and severe allergic reactions.
3. 3M Earplugs
It is alleged that the dual-ended Combat Arms Earplugs, Version 2 (CAEv2) sold by 3M, contained a dangerous defect. It is believed that thousands of United States service members and veterans have sustained hearing loss, tinnitus, and other harm after relying on these earplugs during combat and training. BCH Law continues to investigate 3M Military Earplug cases.
4. 3M Warming Blankets
After surgery, many patients are given warming blankets to help prevent hypothermia. The Bair Hugger Warming Blanket manufactured by 3M is believed to have caused deep-joint infections when used after orthopedic surgeries. The infections can result in life-threatening health problems and, in some cases, may require amputation.
5. Cars Manufactured by GM
General Motors is one of the largest manufacturers of automobiles in the world. Unfortunately, not all of the vehicles that they produce are safe. It is believed that over 100 deaths can be linked to a faulty ignition switch in certain GM vehicles. The faulty ignition switch resulted in the recall of 39 million cars in 2014 alone. It is reported that employees knew of the defect for over a decade.Â
6. TEPEZZA Eye Medicine
Tepezza has been associated with hearing loss, but the label only mentions it without indicating the duration of the symptoms or whether the problems are permanent. Furthermore, it has been the subject of several complaints, including failure to warn, design defect, failure to warn, and negligent design defect. Consumers should avoid Tepezza infusions as they may cause serious health issues.
