Fighting for Consumers Harmed by Dangerous Products
When you purchase a product — whether it is a household appliance, a pharmaceutical drug, a medical device, a vehicle, or a children’s toy — you have every right to expect that it is safe for its intended use. Unfortunately, defective and dangerous products injure thousands of Texans every year. If you or a loved one has been harmed by a defective product in Magnolia, Conroe, The Woodlands, Willis, or anywhere in Montgomery County, Attorney John Ghezzi has the experience and determination to hold manufacturers accountable and secure the compensation your family deserves.
A manufacturing defect occurs when a product departs from its intended design due to an error in the manufacturing process. Even when a product’s design is perfectly safe, a flaw introduced during production can make an individual unit dangerous. Examples include contaminated medications, improperly assembled automotive components, structural weaknesses in power tools, and faulty wiring in electronic devices. These defects may affect a single product or an entire batch, and the consequences for consumers can range from minor injuries to life-threatening harm.
Unlike manufacturing defects, design defects are inherent in the product’s blueprint — meaning every unit produced according to that design is potentially dangerous. A design defect exists when a product is unreasonably dangerous even when manufactured exactly as intended. Common examples include vehicles with a high rollover risk due to their center of gravity, medical devices with inherently flawed mechanisms, and consumer products that lack adequate safety guards or protective features. Under Texas law, the key question is whether a safer alternative design existed that the manufacturer could have reasonably adopted.
Manufacturers have a legal duty to provide adequate warnings and instructions about known risks associated with their products. A failure-to-warn claim arises when a product lacks sufficient labeling, safety information, or usage instructions, and a consumer is injured as a result. This is particularly common with pharmaceutical drugs, chemical products, and industrial equipment, where the risks may not be obvious to the average user. If a manufacturer knew or should have known about a danger and failed to adequately communicate it, they can be held liable for resulting injuries.
Pharmaceutical companies and medical device manufacturers have a responsibility to ensure their products are safe before bringing them to market. Yet dangerous drugs with undisclosed side effects and defective medical devices continue to harm patients across Montgomery County and throughout Texas. From recalled hip implants and hernia mesh products to dangerous blood thinners and antidepressants linked to severe complications, these cases often involve complex scientific and regulatory issues that demand experienced legal representation.
Attorney John Ghezzi works with medical experts and product safety specialists to build compelling cases against negligent manufacturers, distributors, and retailers. We understand the tactics that large pharmaceutical and device companies use to avoid accountability, and we are prepared to take your case to trial if necessary.
Texas follows a strict liability framework for product liability cases, meaning you do not need to prove that the manufacturer was negligent — only that the product was defective and that the defect caused your injuries. This is a significant advantage for injured consumers. However, manufacturers will aggressively defend these claims using arguments such as product misuse, alteration, or comparative fault. Having an attorney with more than 30 years of trial experience is essential to overcoming these defenses.

COMMON QUESTIONS
A product liability claim arises when a defective or dangerous product causes injury to a consumer. The defect may involve the product's design, manufacturing process, or inadequate warnings and instructions. Texas law allows injured consumers to hold manufacturers, distributors, and retailers accountable for putting unsafe products on the market.
There are three main categories: design defects, where the product's blueprint is inherently unsafe; manufacturing defects, where errors during production make individual units dangerous; and marketing defects, where the product lacks proper warnings or instructions. Any of these defects can serve as the basis for a product liability claim in Texas.
Texas allows product liability claims under strict liability, meaning you do not always need to prove the manufacturer was negligent. You must show that the product was defective, it was being used as intended, and the defect caused your injury. Attorney Ghezzi can help determine the strongest legal theory for your specific case.
Common products involved in liability claims include defective vehicles and auto parts, dangerous pharmaceutical drugs, faulty medical devices, unsafe children's toys, and malfunctioning household appliances. Any consumer product that fails to perform safely as expected could give rise to a claim. If a product injured you in the Magnolia or Montgomery County area, you may have legal options.
Texas has a two-year statute of limitations for product liability claims, generally running from the date of injury. There is also a 15-year statute of repose that can bar claims on older products in some situations. Because these deadlines can be complex, consulting with an attorney as soon as possible is strongly recommended.
You may be entitled to compensation for medical expenses, lost income, pain and suffering, and any disability caused by the defective product. In cases of extreme negligence or intentional misconduct, punitive damages may also be awarded. The Ghezzi Law Firm will pursue every dollar you are owed for the harm caused by a dangerous product.
