Ohio's product liability statute (O.R.C. Chapter 2307) allows injured consumers to sue manufacturers, distributors, and sellers of defective products. Whether the defect was in the design, the manufacturing process, or the failure to warn, you may be entitled to compensation. Gregory S. Young Co., LPA handles product liability cases involving defective vehicles, medical devices, industrial equipment, and consumer products.

Frequently Asked Questions
What are the three types of product defects in Ohio?
Design defect: the entire product line is unsafe because of a flawed design. Manufacturing defect: a specific item deviated from the intended design during production. Failure to warn: the product lacked adequate instructions or warnings about known risks.
How long do I have to file a product liability case in Ohio?
Two years from the date of injury under O.R.C. § 2305.10. Products liability cases may also be subject to a 'statute of repose' — a hard deadline regardless of discovery. Consult an attorney promptly.
