Product liability is an area of personal injury law that focuses on dangerous and defective products. My firm represents plaintiffs in the state of Illinois and in particular the Peoria, Tazewell, Fulton and Woodford county areas in matters against corporations or manufacturers who have sold or manufactured unsafe products to consumers. "Products" in this instance cover a wide range of categories, including:
- Machinery and tools;
- Medicine and Drugs, e.g., Rezulin, Fen-Phen, Baycol, PPA, Vioxx, Celebrex, Bextra, Aleve, Bendectin, DES, Thalidomide, Accutane, Phentermine, Parlodel, Phenylpropanolamine, Oxycontin, Pyridostigmine Bromide and other prescription and non-prescription drugs;
- Medical devices;
- Food and tobacco;
