A. Daniel Woska & Associates, P.C. | Dan Woska
Lawyers often fail to explain the analysis they use regarding which cases to pursue. Unless an economic gain or benefit is likely to be provable first and then recoverable a contingency fee attorney will normally turn the case down. You sure do not want to be encouraged to file by an inexperienced lawyer only to find yourself liable for attorneys fees and costs of the other side of the case because you were unable to prove your case and initiated what some people call "frivolous litigation."

The manufacturer and seller of a product can be held liable for injuries caused by a defect of the product. You would have to prove that there was a defect in the design or manufacture of the product, or that they failed to adequately warn you of potential hazards, which resulted in your injury.

Law Office of Michael E. Hendrickson | Michael E. Hendrickson
Sure, you could sue (as anyone can), but without more specifics as to these alleged "adverse effects" on you and/or your family and clarification as to the proximate causation by these products of this company, your case against it must remain in the arena of speculation.

R. D. Kelly Law Firm, P.L.L.C. | Robert Kelly
Product Liability Law In Washington State RCW 7.72 expresses the current state of statutory law regarding product liability in the State of Washington. http://apps.leg.wa.gov/RCW/default.aspx?cite=7.72. Case law from the courts can clarify the product liability cause of action. McKenna v. Harrison Memorial Hosp., 92 Wn. App. 119, 960 P.2d 486 (1998). Federal law can also sometimes be applicable to a products liability case. See 46 U.S.C.A. Sec. 4302. The basic question is whether the product was not "reasonably safe." If you think maybe you have a case, you should probably speak with an attorney to discuss the particular details of your situation.

Coulter's Law | Coulter K. Richardson
In theory, yes. Practically speaking, it is highly dependent on the circumstances. Were the warnings sufficient? Were there warnings at all? Was the product used properly? Was the harm experienced foreseeable? These are very fact specific questions that you would need to consult with an attorney that specializes in product liability suits to answer.
