How can Stephensons help?

Businesses that make products such as foodstuffs, pharmaceuticals and cosmetics have a duty of care to ensure that their customers and other individuals do not suffer injury or illness as a result of their products. A product can be faulty or defective and still be sold at a discounted price if the defect is not determined as dangerous. However, if a product has been sold to a consumer without any mention of a possible fault or defect and they are then harmed in some way, the person may be able to claim compensation.
Under the Consumer Protection Act (CPA), UK citizens are legally protected against injury and damage caused by defective products or faulty goods. If a product made, distributed, supplied or sold in the UK is discovered to be unsafe in some way, you are entitled to seek compensation. This could be for a number of reasons, such as death, injury or damage to property; this also applies even if the sales contract states that there is limited liability.
