Our Product Liability Group provides comprehensive advice on all aspects of product liability and product safety law at a national and EU level, including contractual, legal and regulatory issues concerning the launch of products, labelling and advertising restrictions, advice concerning potentially defective products, product withdrawals, and liability issues arising from allegedly defective products.
As the volume and importance of regulatory requirements increase our team helps manufacturers, distributors, retailers, importers and exporters to meet their compliance obligations, balance risks and to protect their legal position (including their position in any litigation).
Our Irish and international clients can draw on our wealth of experience in successfully defending claims including mass tort litigation, interpreting (and on occasion challenging through the Courts) regulatory legislation on behalf of specific industries, providing focussed advices on product safety issues, product recall and warning campaigns, cross-border litigation, insurance and public relations issues, liaising with regulators and representing clients at public enquiries.
We advise clients from many industry sectors, including pharmaceuticals, agriculture, chemicals, food and drink, tobacco, construction, cosmetics, electronics, energy, engineering, healthcare, household products, information technology, telecommunications and transportation.
