Talcum powder, makeup and crayons are all a right of passage for many Georgia girls. These products are often an everyday part of one's life. As such, the parent who purchases the product and the individual who uses the product assumes that they are safe; they do not assume that the product could be a danger to the child and possibly cause mesothelioma later on.
Products marketed to children show mesothelioma concerns
Asbestos and other toxins found in school supplies
School is back in session for the new year in Georgia which means kids are using all sorts of school supplies every day in and out of the classroom. Are their crayons and binders actually safe for a child's health? A recent study indicates that in some cases, no.
Products liability concern as heart medication linked to cancer
One side effect of growing older is that many Georgia residents find it necessary to take prescription medication in order to control their blood pressure as well as other health-related concerns. The purpose of such medication is to lower the individual's blood pressure and prevent medical complications. Yet, when this medication adds to the individual's medical concerns, there may be a products liability concern that needs to be addressed.
Could Fitbit face a products liability suit?
Many Georgia residents now track their daily step counts, heart rates and other important health factors through wearable technology. Of the options on the market, Fitbit is one of the most popular health watches. Now, it could soon be the subject of a products liability claim.
Secondary asbestos exposure is a risk
Some jobs have more inherent dangers than others. Although companies and workers take a number of safety precautions, accidents happen and workers become injured. In some cases, workers suffer exposure to substances that can cause illness. While the Georgia worker recognizes the possible dangers associated with the job, he or she does not typically recognize the possible dangers, such as asbestos exposure, that his or her family can face as well.
