DANGEROUS PRODUCTS & CONSUMER PROTECTION ATTORNEY IN AUSTIN, TEXAS

When it comes to being a consumer, you can't be too careful about the products you use. There is a long list of products every year that end up in recalls and on callback lists due to dangerous defects, hazardous materials, or other elements that put the safety of consumers at risk. Hundreds of consumers every year end up in the hospital because these products aren't recalled in time. These products can range from prescription drugs and cars to common household products like food and cleaning supplies. Just because a product has been approved by a reputable agency like the Food and Drug Administration, or a car has been approved by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, doesn't mean that the product is completely safe and free from possible defects.

That's why if you've been injured due to a dangerous or defective product, it's important to have an experienced attorney on your side to help you hold the maker of that product responsible. The attorneys at Rodman Law Office have been working with clients throughout the Austin area who have fallen victim to these dangerous products to help them understand their situation and seek justice so that they don't have to face the battle of recovery alone.

HOW CAN I FIND OUT WHAT PRODUCTS HAVE BEEN RECALLED?

The easiest way to avoid becoming another statistic on the list of Americans harmed by dangerous and defective products is to try to keep up with the recall lists issued by manufacturers in the United States. There is a Recent Government Recalls website that provides good information on recent recalls from all major government agencies, but there are still countless recalls made by non-government agencies. While there may be a long list of product recalls across the consumer industry, there are a few major sources that are worth keeping up with. These sources include:

• The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) - The NHTSA will have recall information on cars, trucks, tires, car seats, seatbelts, airbags, and other car products.

• The United States Food and Drug Administration (FDA) - The FDA will have recall information on all drug and medical products. This includes prescription drugs and medical devices and technologies. For detailed information on food recalls, check out FoodSafety.gov.

• Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) - The CPSC will have recall information for most household goods and products. This includes things like furniture, appliances, clothing, cleaning products, and even sporting equipment.
