Brookstone Handheld Vacuums Recall Class Action Lawsuit sue liability lawyer attorney compensation

Around 10,600 rechargeable handheld vacuums have been recalled by Southern Telecom because of a fire hazard.

Recalled vacuums were sold under the name “Brookstone TurboVac Handheld Rechargeable Vacuum,” Model No. BSBVAC301. The model number is located on the back of the unit, and the name “Brookstone” is printed on the front, towards the top. All vacuums measures 12 by 2.89 inches and were sold with a plate for hanging on the wall.

Injuries Caused by Defective Rechargeable Vacuums

The potential for a fire is the biggest source of worry with rechargeable appliances. Injuries caused by fires include first to fourth degree burns, which can leave the victim with disfigurement and nerve damage. If the product short circuiting causes an explosion, you may be knocked to the ground or struck by falling debris. That’s why you can sustain broken bones, traumatic brain injury, and other severe injuries that most people don’t associate with fires. Early intervention is the best way to save your life and minimize permanent complications, so make sure to call 911 or have someone take you the ER if you are injured from a faulty wiring accident involving a recalled Brookstone TurboVac Handheld Rechargeable Vacuum.

Steps to Take if there is an Accident

Those who are involved in an accident are usually confused and disoriented, so it can be hard to figure out what you should do. Your health is always the first priority, so go to a hospital immediately if you have serious injuries. Regardless of how badly you are injured, make sure to seek medical attention within 48 hours. If you don’t, it will be difficult to prove to the manufacturer’s insurance company that you were injured as a direct result of a defect with the product.

Along with seeing a doctor, here are some other steps that can help you build a case for monetary damages:

  • If there were people that witnessed the accident, get their contact information of ask for written statements.
  • Do not throw away or return the product – this is an important piece of evidence if you plan on suing the manufacturer.
  • Keep your medical bills and other documents related to the accident in a safe place (time off requests from your job, witness statements, reports from the fire department, etc.)
  • Call the manufacturer and let them know about the incident, but say no to any offers, like a replacement vacuum or refund.
  • As soon as possible, contact a law firm with experience in recalled product accident claims.

How can I Join a Class Action Lawsuit?

Class action lawsuits usually follow a major recall, as there are many consumers who have suffered harm due to a manufacturer’s negligence. As we are in the early stage of this recall, a class action lawsuit has yet to be formed, but we expect to move forward with a claim once there are enough members. We can help you join an existing lawsuit with other victims or file a personal injury claim by yourself, which may be the right course of action based on your circumstances. No matter what, our team of recall lawyers is here to guide you every step of the way.

Zero Fee Guarantee

Manufacturers have a legal duty to ensure that the goods they sell are free of design flaws and mechanical defects. When they fail to exercise due diligence, there’s no telling how many people will be injured by the same product.

Accident victims need strong and effective representation from a product liability lawyer, but they should not be burdened with the associated costs. With that in mind, we have always worked on contingency under a policy known as the Zero Fee Guarantee. The costs associated with your case are charged to the manufacturer, which is paid to us as a part of your settlement check. If we don’t succeed in bringing you compensation from a product liability claim, you owe us $0.

We look forward to speaking you and fighting for the justice you deserve. Contact us today for a free case review.
