Hi, my name is Kirsten Krueger and two years ago, I was in a car accident. I was stopped at a stop sign when the driver behind me slammed into my car. Due to my injuries, I had to spend a few days in the hospital and I was unable to work for two months. My medical care was expensive and without being able to work, I couldn't pay my bills. The car accident was stressful enough and then I had to worry about how I would pay my bills. After speaking with a car accident lawyer, it wasn't long before I was compensated for my medical bills and lost wages from work. I'm writing this blog to help others who have been a car accident and haven't received any compensation. As you read my posts, you'll learn how an attorney can help you if you're in a vehicle accident.
When you shop for new makeup, you may expect the cosmetics to be safe enough to wear. But if an extremely painful, red rash breaks out on your face and in your eyes, you may wonder about the products' safety. If the manufacturer of the makeup didn't place warnings on their products' labels, the company may be negligent for selling defective products. Here are some things below to help you bring a possible case against the cosmetic company.
Report the Company and Your Injuries
You might not think that your rash is an injury, but it could be. Injuries aren't just bone fractures, skin lacerations, and blunt head trauma. Anything that affects you physically, mentally, and emotionally may also be considered injuries. Personal care products like defective cosmetics may cause injuries if the items cause physical disfigurement, allergic reactions, and other serious problems.
You can report your skin problems to the FDA (Food and Drug Administration). When you report your rash, be sure to include the names of the products and their manufacturer to the FDA. You also want to include pictures (images) of your rash and the date the injuries occurred. If you sought medical care for your rash, report this information as well. The forms provided by the FDA may request other pertinent information, so be sure to provide as many details about your ordeal as you can.
After you complete your forms, contact a product liability attorney for help.
Contact a Product Liability Attorney
A product liability attorney will examine your case and evidence to see if you can pursue a case against the cosmetic manufacturer or owner. If you incurred serious problems in your skin and eyes, such as permanent swelling and a loss of vision, an attorney may go ahead and pursue a case. These types of injuries can interfere with your ability to work in the future, especially if they prevent you from gaining any type of employment.
In addition, an attorney may investigate the company's products to see if they have a history of causing rashes and eye injuries. If the products failed testing before the company placed them on the market, an attorney needs to know as soon as possible. The company may have knowingly placed unsafe and defective cosmetics on the market for men and women to use.
