- Recovering compensation after an injury from a defective product
Stella Artois is voluntarily recalling their 11.2-ounce beer bottles across the U.S. and Canada due to a possible glass contamination.
The company says that the affected bottles were manufactured by a third-party company. The recall affects Stella Artois six-packs, 12-packs, 24-packs, “Best of Belgium” multi-packs (Sold in the U.S. and Canada), Stella Artois Legere six-packs and 12-packs (Sold in the U.S.)
Stella, owned by Anheuser-Busch, believes that less than 1% of bottles will ultimately be affected; but out of precaution for their consumers, they decided to recall all potential bottles.
Recovering compensation after an injury from a defective product
It is a manufacturer’s responsibility to make sure their products are safe for consumers. If someone is injured due to a defective product, a product liability claim may exist. A claim may be pursued to pay for damages caused by the defective product such as medical bills, missed time from work and pain and suffering.
If you or someone you know has been seriously injured by a defective product, it is important to contact a personal injury attorney to review your rights. Call 412-661-1400 to schedule a free consultation with a personal injury lawyer in Pittsburgh at Berger and Green today.
