At Wyatt Law Firm we take consumer safety very seriously. We believe that customers should not have to worry about physical injuries resulting from products that are supposed to be tested and safe. Like the Consumer Product Safety Commission, we feel that our clients should be aware of dangerous products that are being recalled.
