Holiday Product Safety & Defect Law: Expert Tips with Attorney Don Fountain

Are the products in your home truly safe? In this episode of the Hispanicmppr.com podcast, host Elena Delval sits down with Don Fountain, a leading product defect attorney and author of Defect Safety: Investigation to Litigation. With over 37 years of experience specializing in automotive and consumer product safety, Don shares critical insights into the hidden dangers of holiday gifts and everyday products. In this video, you will learn: • The Law of Strict Liability: Understand the fundamental principle that a product must perform as safely as a reasonable consumer expects. • Hidden Holiday Risks: Why the "rush to market" during the holiday season can lead to skipped safety steps and an uptick in injuries during the first quarter of the year. • Lithium-Ion Battery Dangers: From Tesla door mechanisms and battery fires to hazards found in hoverboards, e-bikes, and cell phone chargers. • The Importance of Reporting: Why your report to www.recalls.gov is the "genesis of virtually every recall" and how the public serves as a vital part of the U.S. safety system. • Preserving Evidence: The "golden rule" of product defect litigation—no product, no case. Learn why you must never throw away a defective product or send it back to the manufacturer before documenting it. Key Topics Covered: • Manufacturing vs. design defects. • Safety regulations for aircraft, boats, and motor vehicles. • The risks of "off-brand" products purchased from social media ads or mall kiosks. • Emerging issues in telemedicine, herbal supplements like Kratom, and weight-loss medications like Wegovy. Protect Your Family: Don emphasizes the importance of staying "on-brand" with reputable manufacturers to ensure higher safety standards and vetting. If you suspect a product is defective, prioritize your medical care first, then treat the item as a crucial piece of evidence.
