If you are just having an allergic reaction, this would not be a defective product. Someone with a peanut allergy cannot sue Jif if they eat Jif's peanut butter, as the product is not defective. Now, if you are allergic to an ingredient that was not listed on the product, then you may have a case.

I purchased a machine from a company who has not been able to make it work and has pretty much left me with a defective machine. I wanted to search if there are any others companies out there like myself?
answered on Aug 5, 2014
You have asked a very tough question. Depending on the price of the machine, and I am consuming this is a consumer type machine, it would probably not be worthwhile to sue the company over your defective machine.

Unfortunately, this conviction cannot be removed for your record. Only convictions which are sealed at the time of the conviction, or youthful offender convictions, are not disclosed in the future, but there are no convictions to a criminal charge which can be "removed" from your record.

We have been breathing in the cellulose fibers for years.My wife and i are disabled and have copd.How long should it take to go to court?

It is very unusual for a case to take 8 years to get to Court. The most congested calendars in New York State, including the Bronx, would still not take 8 years for a case to get to Court. My recommendation would be to call your attorney and schedule an appointment to find out the status of your... View More

If the case was filed in New York, it must be filed with the local County clerk. Thus, for example, if your case was filed in Brooklyn, you would search the records of the Kings County Clerk's office to obtain copies of any filed papers.
