According to the recall, MW Company has received at least one report of the steering wheel adaptor quick-release mechanism engaging unintentionally. However, no injuries have been reported in association with the defective product (although it is possible that there are unreported injuries). The recall encourages all consumers to stop using the defective steering wheel adapters immediately and return them to the company for a full refund. Although following this suggestion might make sense for someone who did not suffer any harm as a direct result of the defective product, the parties you suffered any harm in relation to the defective product should never follow the suggestions laid out in the recall (with the obvious exception of stopping the use of the product). Instead, affected parties should seek legal assistance as soon as possible. If you are in need of legal assistance after being harmed by a defective product, it is essential that you seek legal assistance as soon as possible – you should contact the lawyers at Downtown L.A.

Your right to sue is based on product liability. All companies have a duty of care towards their consumers. They have the duty to ensure that their products are completely safe to be used. MW Company, specifically, had the duty to ensure that their MOMO Quick Release Steering Wheel Adapters for Race Cars was safe for consumers. By failing to identify and address hazards before releasing products to consumers, companies, like MW Company, are breaching their duty of care towards consumers and putting their consumers at risk of suffering harm.
Whenever a breach of duty directly results in harm to consumers, the company could be liable for all the harm suffered. If you would like to learn more about liability for the harm suffered due to defective products, such as the MOMO Steering Wheel Adapters, do not hesitate to seek legal assistance with our experts at your earliest convenience. Our lawyers will help you understand how the company is liable for the harm that you suffered.
