Product Liability

Our Product Liability practice has one core concept: it’s not enough to know and understand “product liability law,” we understand the products, the business of our companies, and the industry in which our clients’ products are sold.

We have represented manufacturers throughout the entire United States and have been responsible for the defense of products subject to national and international claims in the following areas:

  • Agriculture
  • Aircraft and Aviation
  • Automotive and Autonomous Motor Vehicle Technology
  • Chemicals
  • Consumer Appliances
  • Firearms
  • Food and Beverage
  • Healthcare
  • Heavy Off-Road Equipment
  • Industrial Equipment
  • Medical Devices
  • Metals
  • Mining
  • Pharmaceuticals
  • Power Tools
  • Recreational Products
  • Sporting Goods
  • Tires

We have represented companies in litigation and beyond including: Risk Management, Product Labeling, Owner’s Manuals, and Warnings. We routinely advise clients on risk avoidance matters and we work with clients to prepare product literature and instruction manuals to mitigate risk. If necessary, we also have extensive experience in implementing effective product recall campaigns.

Recognized by Chambers and Partners USA, our Product Liability group is among Pennsylvania’s leading practices, representing clients in high-stakes product liability matters.
