Lawsuits, product recalls, warranty claims and consumers receiving defective goods are all on the rise. Thirty-five million consumer products were recalled in the United States in the summer of 2007. The Acting Chairman of the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission dubbed it the "summer of recalls." Civil litigation relating to those recalls continues to escalate. At the root cause is companies that fail to take accountability for the reliability and safety of their products. In our work as expert witnesses in product liability and organizational negligence, we routinely discover manufacturing and service companies that are violating established standards and conventions and flooding the market with questionable products. This is truly reaching epidemic proportions as personal and corporate accountability declines.
