Household Fires
Household Fires Caused by Defective Products
Each year, hundreds of Americans suffer injury as a result of household fires caused by defective household products. Many of these products are manufactured overseas, and some have been subject to recall by the United States Consumer Product Safety Commission.
Some recent recalls include the following:
Strike Force Portable Air Compressors. The compressor’s motor can overheat and ignite the protective cover, posing a fire hazard.
All of the products listed above were manufactured in China. Unfortunately, foreign manufacturers often do not adhere to the strict standards for product safety required by the U.S. government. As a result, American consumers often suffer injury or other loss as a result of fires caused by these dangerous products.
