Inherently dangerous products


When we talk about dangerous products tend to think of those who, because they are poorly designed or have undergone a manufacturing process defective carry some risk to the consumer by its use. For example, it would be an electronic product that would tend to cause short circuits suffer overheating.

It is in these cases, precisely when it is possible to speak of the responsibility of the manufacturer (or importer) for any damage, personal and material, that they might have on users.

But what about those other goods that nature itself is unsafe or, in other words, dangerous? In fact, there are products that, by their own characteristics and the purposes for which they were designed or manufactured, have a wide potential harm to the health of their users, not to be used under strict security protocol.

In many cases involve elements of industrial, in the service of the manufacture of other products or carrying out other economic activities. For example, the Powder is a key element in the demolition sector, as well as when making infrastructure. However, a misuse of the information could lead to amputation, severe burns, scars or even the terrible death of the person.

What aspects would indicate that a product is unsafe?

Dangerous or unsafe character of a product could be given by its preparation or manufacture, which usually presents considerable complexity, in many cases being subjected to numerous tests to verify that the process was successful.

Precisely because of their dangerous nature, if they are marketed to the general public face (and not for industrial purposes) often carry very precise instructions and precautions, and if possible even in the face of limitations and restrictions on their acquisition and use.

Consider, for example, in drugs. These fall into this category of dangerous products "naturally" as they are the result of complex chemical processes, using substances, used improperly, could seriously threaten the health and integrity of the patient.

These are always accompanied by complete instructions on prospects with their use, contraindications and possible side effects on it. And on the other hand, it is necessary in most cases have a prescription to be bought.

In any case, the common element to inherently dangerous products is that there should be an alternative to the user that would get the same results arising from their employment without such high risks are associated.

Damage resulting from products "inherently dangerous"

Like with other products, could only qualify for compensation for damages suffered as a result of its use in the event that, having used according to manufacturer's instructions and guidelines, you would have suffered any damage.

For example, if you had accidentally ingested bleach, thereby ocasionándote internal burns of a serious nature should rule out any possibility of a claim, since in their labeling and specify clearly the most dangerous and toxic nature.
