Product Safety Consulting 

Our representation goes beyond the defense of product liability claims.

We get to know every detail of your supply chain – from ingredients and labeling, to the manufacturers, wholesalers, dealers, and retailers of your products.  Our product safety consulting services include:

Product Recalls 

Where there is a product, there can be a risk or complication that could lead to lawsuits and product recalls. Federal, state, and local regulatory agencies oversee product safety and the proper labeling of products, which results in heightened awareness of our clients. Our practiced team of attorneys is experienced with product recalls and brand protection. We help you manage investigations and product recall requests from government and regulatory agencies and administer corrective plans of actions.

Product Liability Class Actions 

Class action lawsuits can have a few plaintiffs or thousands. A class action can have a devastating effect – from the impact on operations and financial stability to public relations scrutiny and negative brand consequences.

Plaintiffs’ attorneys are willing to spend significant time, money, and resources on winning a class action case because they are paid based on the amount of the class’s overall financial recovery. With that in mind, the attorneys at Monaco Cooper Lamme & Carr, PLLC work with our clients from the early stages to mitigate the plaintiffs’ chances of success and financial recovery. 

While we are always prepared to take a class action to trial, one of our preliminary defense strategies is defeating class certification.  Additionally, we maintain credible and professional relationships with plaintiffs’ counsel and work to resolve cases outside of the courtroom through arbitration, mediation, and settlement.
