What If a Product Recall Was Issued After My Injury—Do I Still Have a Claim?

Yes. A recall doesn’t erase the harm caused before it was issued—and it doesn’t let manufacturers off the hook. If a defective product injured you before, during, or even after a recall, you may still have a valid claim under Michigan product liability law.

A recall often means the company knew or should have known about the danger. That can strengthen your case, especially if they delayed warning the public.

Examples of defective products include:

• Faulty auto parts (airbags, brakes, or tires)
• Dangerous appliances or power tools
• Defective medical devices or drugs
• Unsafe toys or children’s furniture

You may be entitled to compensation for medical bills, lost income, and pain and suffering. Every case depends on the facts—so don’t assume the recall timing disqualifies you.
