Product Liability
Product liability communications is about surviving lawsuits. It’s about reassuring the public that responsible remedial action has been taken. It’s about larger issues as well, such as collaborating with regulatory agencies like the Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) to win their trust as well as the consumer’s, or mastering digital strategies in order to overcome the potent advantage that corporate adversaries now enjoy online.
Levick’s Product Liability team wins product liability battles on every front. When Bayer MaterialScience faced exposure because a plant explosion released an obscure chemical, we calmed an anxious public even as local juries returned one favorable verdict after another. For America’s largest glass manufacturer, we helped reassure the CPSC and the public, heading off calls for further regulation of a recalled product. Importantly, we won a key debate over public nuisance actions that would have meant incalculable exposure for businesses throughout the U.S.
For at-risk companies, product liability is often business as usual – but it can be a very dangerous business. A plaintiffs’ bar dedicated to product liability has all the resources, digital and otherwise, to win the communications wars. Our collective mission is to change that.
