Product safety standards are always at issue in determining the safety of a product. Our Associates are experienced in working with clients to develop proposed standards, involving organizations such as the American Society of Testing and Materials (ASTM), the American National Standards Institute (ANSI), the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA), model building code bodies, and the International Organization for Standards (ISO).

We evaluate product liability and safety standards in all phases of our clients development activities. Podojil & Associates Inc. professionals also assist clients in identifying applicable standards that might apply to a particular product and in determining if their products comply with those standards. Aside from design defects, the most significant product liability claims stem from failure-to-warn allegations.

We work with clients to develop warnings and instructions, and our comprehensive understanding of advertising law enables us to fully advise clients on advertising and marketing claims. We review claims to be sure that adequate substantiation exists, and verify that advertising claims are consistent with warnings and instructions.
