Product Labels That Fail to Warn Can be Unsafe
It is the manufacturer’s responsibility to put care into their product labeling and instructions, otherwise the product can be unsafe. The improper labeling or insufficient instructions can cause problems with how the product is used.
Standing Up for Better Labeling of Products
Labels on products explain what the product is, how to use it and safety hazards that could exist. When the labeling is not clear or fails to warn the user of potential problems it could have serious consequences that could result in injury or death, or it could cause the product to no longer work. The proper labeling can protect the consumer and when it does not it can include:
- How to Use Labeling: When the how to use labeling is not clear or does not provide enough information it can result in a damaged product that no longer works or it can result in an injury.
- Safety Warnings: Safety or hazard warnings can include precautions that a product generates heat, or should not be used near water. They can also include warnings that they can be toxic if swallowed, dangerous if gotten in the eyes or on the skin. These product warning labels are meant to prevent serious injury and the consumer needs to be made aware of these dangers.
