Most (if not all) homeowners in Toledo own at least one outdoor power tool for maintaining their lawn or backyard foliage. Chances are if they purchased the equipment, they know how to use it as intended. However, even that might not be enough to prevent injuries caused by faulty lawn and garden equipment.
Dangerous power tools are often designed to avoid or stop an injury from occurring altogether, but defective safety components can lead to serious accidents.
Your backyard is a space for you to enjoy the great outdoors and make memories with friends and family. If you are the type of person who takes pride in their backyard and puts in the effort to make it a comfortable environment, then you likely have other backyard products and equipment that can be susceptible to defects.
Equipment like fire pits, heaters, smokers and barbeque grills are often powered by propane or a natural gas connection. Anything powered by combustible fuel can potentially lead to serious injury or deaths if the defect leads to fires or explosions. Families who have any of these popular backyard products should always be cautious while using them, especially around children.
There is nothing wrong with owning a lawnmower or barbecue grill, but when they don’t work as they should, they can pose a threat to your family and your home. The Buckeye Law Group understands the importance of fresh air and spending time outdoors, so we get why it’s important for homeowners to feel safe in their own backyard.
Even the most trusted manufacturers can be held responsible for defective products. When you work with one of our Toledo attorneys, they will fight on your behalf to recover the funds you require to resume your daily life.
