Product Liability & Recall
A serious safety issue with a children’s toy; faulty building products; food contamination issues… whatever the specifics of your product liability issue, our team will guide you through the regulatory requirements while supporting you to protect your brand and financial stability.
This could mean responding to an individual claim, defending a complex product liability action, class action, or managing the legal implications of a large-scale recall; our people deliver strategic, informed, and decisive representation.
Product liability and recall matters demand a legal team that understands not only the law, but also the complex engineering, regulatory, and supply-chain dynamics behind modern products.
Our Product Liability & Recall experts provide insurers and their insureds with disciplined, technically informed defence solutions across the full lifecycle of product risk. We combine litigation strength with industry-specific knowledge, regulatory insight, and structured incident-response protocols to manage exposures efficiently and with precision.
Our lawyers have extensive experience defending claims involving:
- Design defects
- Manufacturing defects
- Failure-to-warn and labelling claims
- Product misuse or modification
- Catastrophic injury and property damage
- Multi-party and multi-jurisdiction disputes
- Subrogation and recovery actions
Our approach combines rigorous technical investigation with a clear understanding of the evidentiary requirements and litigation strategies essential for a successful defence.
Recall Management & Crisis Response
Product recalls require rapid action, careful coordination, and clear communication.
We support insurers and insureds through every stage of the recall process, from initial risk assessment to post-event litigation:
- Regulatory compliance and reporting guidance
- Advising on voluntary and mandatory recalls
- Risk containment and mitigation strategies
- Communication planning and stakeholder management
- Document preservation and evidence handling
- Defending class actions and mass tort litigation arising from recalls
Our team routinely works with engineers, medical experts, human-factors specialists, and industry-specific consultants to understand the full context of each claim. By pairing legal expertise with deep technical analysis, we build strong, evidence-based defences that stand up in court and in negotiations.
