Products Liability Defense

Strategic Defense for Manufacturers, Distributors, and Retailers

Morris Duffy Alonso Faley & Pitcoff has a long-standing track record of defending product manufacturers, distributors, and retailers in complex product liability litigation. Our attorneys represent clients in both consumer and commercial product claims, handling cases across New York and beyond in state, federal, and appellate courts.

We defend claims involving alleged:

  • Defective design
  • Manufacturing flaws
  • Inadequate warnings or labeling
  • Breach of warranty
  • Failure to test or inspect

Representative Product Categories

We have successfully defended a wide variety of products, including:

  • Automotive parts and components (braking systems, airbags, seat restraints)
  • Recreational and fitness equipment (jet skis, snowmobiles, ATVs, treadmills)
  • Industrial and manufacturing machinery
  • Home and office appliances and tools
  • Consumer electronics and devices

We are well-versed in working with technical experts in engineering, biomechanics, and human factors to dismantle complex product defect allegations and to challenge causation theories asserted by plaintiffs.

Medical Products, Pharmaceuticals & Devices

In collaboration with our Food, Drug & Medical Device group, we also represent clients in litigation involving:

  • Prescription drugs and over-the-counter medications
  • Orthopedic implants (hip and knee replacements)
  • Pain pumps and surgical instruments
  • Orthotic and electrical stimulation devices
  • Emergency monitoring systems
  • Dietary supplements and investigation medical devices

Our attorneys are deeply familiar with FDA regulations, preemption defenses, MDL procedures, and the scientific literature that shapes modern pharmaceutical and medical device litigation.

Trial-Ready and Cost-Conscious Defense

We are known for developing aggressive, fact-driven defenses and working efficiently with insurers and self-insured entities to control litigation costs. Whether through dispositive motion practice, expert-driven defense strategy, or targeted settlement negotiations, we aim for the most effective resolution under the facts and legal landscape of each case.
