If you or a loved one has been injured by a defective or unsafe product, you are not alone — and you may have legal options. At GotInjured.ca, our Ontario product liability lawyers help injured consumers hold manufacturers, distributors, and retailers accountable when dangerous products cause serious harm.
Products are supposed to make life easier, not put your health and safety at risk. When companies fail to design, manufacture, or properly warn about their products, the consequences can be devastating. Our team is here to guide you through the legal process and fight for the compensation you deserve.
Product liability refers to the legal responsibility of companies that design, manufacture, distribute, or sell products that cause injury due to defects or inadequate warnings.
Under Ontario law, injured consumers may be entitled to compensation if a product was unsafe and caused harm when used as intended — or in a reasonably foreseeable way. These claims often involve complex legal and technical issues, which is why having an experienced Ontario product liability lawyer on your side is critical.
Not all defective products fail in the same way. Product liability claims in Ontario generally fall into three main categories:
These occur when a product is improperly made during the manufacturing process, making it dangerous even though the design itself may be safe.
A design defect means the product was inherently unsafe from the start, even when manufactured correctly and used as intended.
Some products carry risks that require clear warnings or instructions. When companies fail to properly inform consumers about potential dangers, injuries can occur.
At GotInjured.ca, we assist clients across Ontario with a wide range of defective product claims, including:
Defective consumer products
Dangerous medical devices and implants
Faulty automotive parts and components
Unsafe children’s toys and baby products
Industrial and workplace equipment defects
Household appliances and electronics
If a product caused injury, we can evaluate whether a product liability claim may apply.
Product liability claims may involve multiple parties. Depending on the circumstances, responsible parties may include:
Product manufacturers
Parts manufacturers
Distributors and wholesalers
Retailers and sellers
Importers of foreign-made products
Ontario law allows injured consumers to pursue claims against all parties involved in bringing a defective product to market.
A successful product liability claim may allow you to recover compensation for:
Medical bills and rehabilitation costs
Lost wages and reduced earning capacity
Pain and suffering
Long-term disability or permanent impairment
Future care and treatment expenses
Every case is different. Our lawyers assess the full impact of your injuries to pursue fair and complete compensation.
Ontario has strict limitation periods for filing product liability claims. In most cases, you have a limited amount of time from the date you discovered — or should have discovered — your injury and its connection to the defective product.
Missing a deadline can mean losing your right to compensation. Speaking with a product liability lawyer as soon as possible helps protect your claim.

It’s a claim for injuries caused by defective or unsafe products, including design, manufacturing, or warning flaws.
Not always. You may only need to show the product was defective and caused your injury.
Manufacturers, distributors, retailers, and importers may all be responsible.
Usually two years from when you discovered the injury and its link to the product.
Medical costs, lost wages, pain and suffering, long-term care, and future expenses.
Most product liability cases are contingency-based — you pay nothing unless we win.
