Portable generators are essential tools for providing power during outages, but they can also pose serious risks if they are defectively designed or fail to function as intended. If you or a loved one has suffered harm due to carbon monoxide poisoning or because a generator did not work effectively when needed, you may have grounds to file a portable generator lawsuit with the help of Phillips Law Group.
Portable Generator Concerns
Carbon monoxide (CO) poisoning is one of the most significant dangers associated with portable generators. CO is a colorless, odorless gas that can cause severe injury or death if inhaled in high concentrations.
The United States Consumer Product Safety Commission reports, “CO poisoning from portable generators can happen so quickly that exposed persons may become unconscious before recognizing the symptoms of nausea, dizziness or weakness.”
“An average of about 100 consumers die in the U.S. each year from CO poisoning from portable generators, according to CPSC’s latest report on Non-Fire Carbon Monoxide Deaths Associated with the Use of Consumer Products,” the agency warned.
Many portable generators emit dangerous levels of CO, especially when used in enclosed or poorly ventilated spaces. Despite knowing these risks, some manufacturers have failed to include adequate safety features, such as automatic shut-off mechanisms or sufficient warnings, to protect consumers.
In addition to CO poisoning, some portable generators fail to operate as needed during critical moments, leaving families without power during emergencies. Whether due to design flaws, manufacturing defects, or inadequate instructions, these failures can have devastating consequences, particularly during natural disasters or extreme weather events – of which there have been far too many in recent years.
