Product liability cases most often deal with manufacturers who create a defective or dangerous product, and sometimes with dealers and retailers who sell the defective product.

The Beasley Allen Report takes a look at a case where a construction worker was seriously injured on the job when the equipment he was using did not have proper safety mechanisms.

The case they review involves the B 22 Osprey aircraft, a tilt-rotor aircraft developed by the military to do heavy lifting previously handled by helicopters, or too large for standard helicopters. This particular case involved the crash of an Osprey aircraft in which a Marine was killed. Mike explains the wide variety of factors that are investigated in aviation litigation, including aircraft design, operation, outside conditions like weather, pilot error, and other considerations.

While parents try their best to protect their children and keep them safe, sometimes their best efforts are hampered by defective products. A faulty design or improperly manufactured product can pose serious danger to babies and young children. Product recalls happen with alarming frequency, involving everything from strollers to cribs and pacifiers. This week, the Consumer Product Safety Commission issued recalls on a bedside baby sleeper, and a Pampers brand pacifier. There also is ongoing debate about the safety of bumper pads used in cribs.

U.S. Department of Transportation Secretary Ray LaHood said a government investigation could not conclusively link Toyota Sudden Unintended Acceleration problems to vehicle electronic control systems. Sudden Unintended Acceleration has resulted in thousands of automobile crashes, and led to the recall of more than 8 million Toyota vehicles of varying makes and models in 2009 and 2010. Beasley Allen attorney Graham Esdale told WSFA News 12 that the study is incomplete. He says there are ongoing tests and studies that have already linked SUA to electrical systems. Toyota claims the problems are the result of mechanical problems such as sticky accelerator pedals or improperly placed floor mats, or even driver error.

Yesterday the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) finally decided to get tough with automaker Toyota for safety problems involving almost all of the car maker's models. The problem is Sudden Unintended Acceleration (SUA), in which vehicles race out of control despite drivers' attempts to stop them.

CNN reports on an undisclosed Toyota repair document suggesting electronics are behind its problems.
