Florida protects consumers who are injured as a result of a defective product. You may have a claim against a manufacturer or a retailer, and you may be entitled to compensation.
Products may be defective if:
- There is a flaw in the design of the product which causes the product to be dangerous even if used properly.
- A product which is designed to be safe may still be defective if it is improperly manufactured.
- Products that are designed and manufactured properly may still be dangerous if there is a lack of adequate warning as to their use. If the manufacturer knows of a potential danger which is not apparent to the ordinary consumer, the manufacturer must provide adequate warning.
What to do if you are injured by a defective product:
- 1Do not wait to seek medical treatment for your injuries.
- 2Take photos of the injuries and the product.
- 3Do not dispose of the product unless necessary for safety.
- 4When seeking medical treatment, notify the medical personnel of the cause of your injuries.

Do Not Forfeit Your Right to Bring a Claim
Under Florida law, ordinary negligence causes of action are subject to a two-year statute of limitations (the time limit to bring a claim). The only exception to this is when the claimant is a minor age eight or younger, in which case the seven-year period does not bar an action brought on behalf of a minor on or before the child's eighth birthday.
