Defective products can cause life-changing injuries and deaths. Some of the most common defective products are tools and equipment used to complete work that is already dangerous. During risky construction projects, road work and other labor-intensive jobs, workers place their lives in the hands of product manufacturers on a daily basis. When ladders, scaffolds, man lifts and other products fail, the resulting injuries, disabilities and fatalities are devastating.
