When a product you trusted causes serious injury, it’s not just frustrating it can be life-changing. Whether it’s a faulty appliance, defective car part, dangerous toy, or mislabeled medication, Arizona law allows consumers in Phoenix and surrounding areas to pursue product liability claims against the companies responsible.
At Valley Injury Law, we proudly serve clients across Phoenix, Scottsdale, Paradise Valley, Arcadia, Desert Ridge, and nearby communities. Our team helps injured individuals hold manufacturers, retailers, and distributors accountable when unsafe products cause harm.
What Is a Product Liability Claim?
A product liability claim is a legal action against a company that made or sold a product that caused injury due to being defective or unreasonably dangerous.
Arizona recognizes three main types of product defects:
- Design Defects – Flaws in the product’s blueprint make it unsafe from the start
- Manufacturing Defects – Mistakes during production cause the product to malfunction
- Marketing Defects – Inadequate warnings, unclear instructions, or misleading labels
If any of these issues caused your injury, you may have a case—even if the company didn’t mean for anyone to get hurt.
Examples of Defective Products That Cause Injuries
At Valley Injury Law, we’ve handled claims involving a wide range of products, such as:
- Auto parts – Airbags, brakes, tires, or ignition systems

- Electronics – Batteries that overheat or explode
- Children’s products – Choking hazards, toxic materials, unsafe toys
- Medical devices – Faulty implants, pacemakers, or recalled medications
- Work equipment – Unsafe tools, ladders, or industrial machines
If you were injured while using a product as intended, you may be entitled to compensation.

- The product manufacturer

Arizona Product Liability Law: What You Need to Know
Arizona allows victims to file claims under both strict liability and negligence. In many cases, you do not need to prove the manufacturer was careless—only that the product was defective and caused harm.
You typically have two years from the date of the injury to file a claim. However, don’t wait. The sooner you act, the easier it is to preserve evidence and build a strong case.

FAQs About Product Liability in Phoenix
What if I didn’t buy the product myself?
You may still have a claim if you were injured while using the product—even if someone else purchased it.
Do recalls help my case?
Yes, a recall can support your claim, but it’s not required. Many defective products are never formally recalled.
Can I sue Amazon or an online seller?
In some cases, yes. Online retailers can be held responsible depending on how the product was sold and distributed.
