Product Recall Attorneys
Protecting Los Angeles Consumers
When safety issues inherent to a product come to light, the manufacturer, distributor, or retailer involved in bringing it to market may issue a recall.
These notices may help consumers keep themselves and their families safe, but they also help shield the companies behind the product from liability.
Product liability cases are not limited to a certain type of consumer good. Everything from toys to tires to lawnmowers has been pulled from the market after serious injuries.
No matter what your product recall case involves, our team at Shoop | A Professional Law Corporation is here to help you.
Whether you can sue over a recalled product depends on several factors, including when you were injured, how the recall was communicated, and what warnings were available at the time. In many cases, people in Los Angeles are hurt before a recall is ever issued, or they never receive notice that the product they rely on every day has been deemed unsafe. Even if a recall has been announced, the company may still be liable if the design of the product was unreasonably dangerous or if safer alternatives were available but not used.
We also look closely at whether the company took reasonable steps to notify users in California and nationwide, such as direct mailings, emails, in-store signage, or public announcements through the CPSC, FDA, or NHTSA. If a business quietly posts a recall on a website but knows that most users will never see it, that may support a claim that they did not do enough to protect the public. Our attorneys evaluate how the recall was handled and how the product failed in your specific situation so we can advise you on whether a civil claim is appropriate.
In the last 14 years, Shoop & team's impressive track record includes hundreds of Product Liability cases resulting in verdicts or settlements exceeding $1 million. For a Product Liability team with an exemplary track record, clients choose Shoop.

Pursuing Justice & Maximum Compensation
Product recall and liability laws were created to help those injured by dangerous products. We do our part to help clients recover the maximum amount possible so they can access the best treatment and rehabilitation.
Some damages you can receive compensation for include:

If you believe you have a product liability case, we encourage you to speak with one of our experienced lawyers. At Shoop | A Professional Law Corporation, we look at all the above factors and more to help you determine how much a fair settlement should be. In most cases, the insurer’s initial offer does not even come close.
When we evaluate a claim arising from a recalled product, we also account for future needs that are easy to overlook at first. Serious injuries in Los Angeles often require long-term medical follow-up, repeat surgeries, mobility aids, home modifications, and support for daily activities. Lost earning capacity can span years, especially if you worked in a physical job and can no longer perform the same duties. By working with medical and economic professionals, we build a detailed picture of the total impact the defective product has had on your life.
We also consider how a recall might be used by a manufacturer or insurer to downplay your losses. Companies sometimes argue that a recall limits their responsibility or that a quick refund or replacement is sufficient compensation. Our role is to show how your specific injuries, pain, and disruption go far beyond the value of the product itself. By documenting the full scope of your harm, we put you in a stronger position to pursue a resolution that reflects what you have truly lost, rather than what the company would prefer to pay.

The Product Recall Process
Manufacturers of consumer goods, including companies that make car parts, medical devices, and other goods, have a duty to produce safe products.
Sadly, some companies are more concerned with profits than public safety, so they rush their products to market without adequate testing, meaning many defective and dangerous products are sold each day.
Unless a company has proactively concealed test results, flaws are typically discovered by consumers in unfortunate accidents.
Even after lawsuits have been filed, some companies drag their feet when it comes to publishing a recall. Government agencies like the Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC), the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), and the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) may step forward to warn consumers in their stead.
