PRODUCT LIABILITY ATTORNEY
Cosmetics Manufacturers have a duty to make sure their products are safe for consumers. They can breach this duty when they create unsafe products or fail to warn consumers about dangers that may impact a portion of the population, such as known allergic reactions. If you have been seriously injured by cosmetics, you need an experienced Cosmetics Product Liability Attorney at your side.
STRICT PRODUCT LIABILITY
An injured party can sue both the seller and the manufacturer of cosmetics, depending on whether the injury was caused by a defective design, a defect or by improper labeling. New York follows the “strict product liability” standard which means that an injured person bringing an action must prove that they are the type of consumer the product was intended for, that the defect did not occur after the product was sold (ie; left out in the sun,) and that there is an injury. The theory is called “strict liability” because it is not necessary to prove, as it is in most negligence cases, that there was a “specific duty of care” to that particular user. This standard applies to most consumer marketed products. An experienced Cosmetics Product Liability Attorney can be retained to represent you in strict liability claims.
BREACH OF WARRANTY
This theory is available is a manufacturer or seller made any specific guarantees that a product would accomplish a particular goal, but this would not apply in cases where there is an actual injury. It can also be brought with the general theory that there is an implied guarantee that a product is “fit for normal use” and therefore should not cause an injury. The third breach of warranty claim would be that the seller and manufacturer knew that the product was being used “off label” for a specific purpose and caused injury when used in that way. These claims do not always result in an award of damages, but can be helpful in bringing a strict liability claim. An experienced Cosmetics Product Liability Attorney can be retained to represent you in breach of warranty claims.
ALLERGIES
When manufacturers know or should know, that a cosmetic product causes an allergic reaction in some people, they have a responsibility to warn of this risk. If the allergy is common, it could give rise to a breach of warranty that the product was fit for cosmetic use. Make sure to tell your Cosmetics Product Liability Attorney about any allergies you have.

HISTORY OF BUILDING CODES
Did you know that there have been building codes dating back to 2000 BC? Authorities of the time were eager to create rules and records, and to create structures that were more reliability unlikely to collapse and kill people. When buildings feel on people, it didn't make Kings look good! The most elaborate and building code of ancient times was the Code of Hammurabi, which is well-known as the first full-blown law book. Unlike today when enforcement of building codes can be lax, under the Code of Hammurabi a builder that collapses, killing workers and occupants, would be put to death. The history of building construction codes shows a growing concern for safety and reflects [...]
History of Construction Accidents
Sadly, despite efforts to regulate the industry, builders have found it more cost effective to pay fines than to employ safety measures. This has resulted in a history of preventable fatalities on construction sites that is heartbreaking. We learn in school about these great achievements, but little is told of the collateral damage to workers, as a result of an intentional disregard for safety. This trend continues as construction projects continue to ignore safety protocols putting their workers at risk for fatal construction accidents. Until there are criminal penalties imposed on builders, this trend is likely to continue. The history of construction accidents is marred by a lack of concern for worker safety. Construction [...]
