Also, thousands of children are seriously injured each year at Trampoline Parks, sometimes caused by defective trampoline materials and support devices

Keyless Car Ignitions Cause Carbon Monoxide Deaths: Unfortunately when car designers decided to make cars keyless, they made the design inherently dangerous, in that Oklahomans can mistakenly leave their cars running in the garage overnight, potentially killing everyone in the house. We will have an in-depth page on this new Defective Product Design in the very near future, in the meantime, if anyone in your family has suffered an injury caused by a Keyless Car Ignition, please contact Self & Associates today.
Under Oklahoma product liability laws every person, business or entity involved in the chain of distribution can be found liable if the product is defective or unreasonably dangerous and injures or kills someone.
A product can be defective for 3 different reasons:
- Defectively Manufactured - The product was made incorrectly to perform its intended function or with materials or component parts that fail to work properly or break so as to injure or kill people while the product is being used in a foreseeable manner.
- Design Defect - The product was incorrectly or mistakenly designed so as to fail or be unreasonably dangerous and cause injury when used foreseeably. Design defects are inherent in that they exist before the product is manufactured.
- Failure to Warn - This is a marketing defect. This could include inadequate assembly or safety instructions. Warning labels warning the intended user of dangers known by, or foreseeable to the manufacture should be affixed to the product or its packaging prominently.
