Holding Manufacturers Accountable in Cherry Hill, NJ

Consumers have the right to expect the products they use to be safe. But when a defective product fails—whether in your home, your child’s crib, or on a job site—the results can be catastrophic. At Feldman Shepherd, our Cherry Hill defective product lawyers represent South Jersey residents harmed by faulty, poorly designed, or dangerously marketed products.

With decades of experience and a national reputation for product liability success, we’ve recovered hundreds of millions of dollars for people just like you—while pushing for recalls and safety reforms that protect others.

What Is a Product Liability Claim?

Product liability law protects people from injuries caused by unsafe goods. You may have a valid claim if you were seriously hurt by a product that was:

  • Defectively designed
  • Improperly manufactured
  • Missing critical safety warnings
  • Marketed in a misleading or dangerous way (especially to children)

Our Cherry Hill legal team investigates every link in the product’s journey—from design to delivery—and identifies where the system failed.

Our Results Defective Products

Dangerous Products We Commonly Litigate

We handle product injury claims involving:

  • Furniture tip-overs, including unsecured dressers and bookcases
  • Children’s toys, strollers, carriers, and loungers
  • Defective tree stands and hunting gear
  • Lawn equipment and power tools
  • Kitchen appliances (e.g., hot water dispensers, pressure cookers)
  • Medical devices and home healthcare equipment
  • Heavy machinery and lift equipment

If you were injured while using a product as intended, you may be entitled to significant compensation under New Jersey product liability law.

Our Record in Defective Product Cases

Feldman Shepherd has led some of the most impactful product liability cases in the country, including:

  • $50 million settlement for families whose children were killed by tipping IKEA dressers
  • $48 million recovery for a child burned by a hot water dispenser
  • $18 million settlement for space heater-related injuries
  • $8 million recovery after an infant suffocated in a baby sling
  • $8 million for a hunter paralyzed by a defective tree stand

Types of Product Defects We Handle

Design Defects

The product was unsafe from the start—often affecting every unit sold. Example: A dresser that tips over without being anchored to a wall.

Manufacturing Defects

Something went wrong during production or assembly. This could involve contaminated ingredients, cracked parts, or weak structural materials.

Failure to Warn

If the product lacks warnings about foreseeable risks—like choking hazards, burn risks, or electrocution—it may be considered defective.

Dangerous Marketing

When companies promote dangerous products to vulnerable groups (such as flavored vapes to children), they can be held accountable for the harm caused.

Strict Liability in New Jersey

New Jersey allows strict liability for defective products. That means we don’t need to prove the company was negligent—only that the product was unreasonably dangerous and caused injury.

    “Mr. Daria and his firm took my wife and my case not only seriously bit with the utmost compassion.”

    Mr. Daria and his firm took my wife and my case not only seriously bit with the utmost compassion. The personal injury my wife suffered not only limited her physical mobility it also effected her psychological perspective. The multiple surgeries took their toll on every aspect of her life, as well as mine as her caregiver. At the outset being her full-time caregiver for over 3 months was a serious stressor for me. Working Mr. Daria during the immediately after my wife's accident and initial surgeries he was thoughtful, gave us excellent advice, guided us through the lawsuit process, and helped us keep a level head through the most difficult time in our lives. Anyone in need of a personal injury attorney and firm Mr. Daria and Feldman and Associates is the firm to choose.

    Through a very difficult, painful and disparity time in our lives, and probably, a day to day busy operation at her office, Bethany was always available to assist with any questions, updates or concerns about the case or anything else she could possibly help with. Not only we were represented by one of the most competent, smart and tenacious lawyer around, but we also gain a friend.
    Bethany, thank you so much for all your support and appreciation. I want you to know that you are appreciated and we wish you many more successes with your future ventures.
    Thank you 🙏🏽

    “ They went above and beyond, worked closely with me, and felt like family. ”

    Carol Shepherd and Patricia Giordano and their team advocated for my son when I felt the healthcare system did not. They went above and beyond, worked closely with me, and felt like family. During a challenging time, it was nice to work with such compassionate, professional, and knowledgeable people who were fighting for the best interest of my son and his future. We were very pleased with the outcome and did so without having to go to court. I will be forever thankful for the both of them and their entire team.
