The Importance of Registering Your New Products

With the holiday season in full swing, most of us will be out shopping for all types of new products from electronic devices to home improvement items. When your tearing through the wrapping paper and boxes before you throw away that Product Registration card, STOP!! The process of filling out the registration card seems like a hassle when all you want to do is starting enjoying and using your new product; however, that little card can prevent a serious injury and/or save someone's life. I was just recently reminded of how important registering a product is. I was recently retained by a client who was severely injured when a defective product exploded in his face, causing him to lose an eye. The product had been recalled by the manufacturer for this exact problem; however, the product was never registered, so my client did not have notice the product he was using was defective.
