Everyday products can sometimes cause harm to themselves or to others due to technical issues, poor installation practices, and/or product usage outside its intended scope. When product field failures occur, manufacturers need to determine the root cause quickly, especially if legal action has been initiated.

If a product component is at fault, the manufacturer needs to know what happened, why it happened, and how to remediate the problem. Wilger Testing has assisted manufacturers, municipalities, and attorneys in hundreds of product failure cases to reduce the number of filed claims by shifting the blame to the installer and/or user.

When Wilger Testing Company conducts a forensic analysis, we are usually retained as the technical expert for the defense, which means the plaintiff cannot use our results. Further, as with all proprietary information, we do not disclose to others what our forensic analysis found.

Wilger Testing is a partner you can depend on when product field situations must be resolved. Our proven forensic analysis program will not only provide probable faults but recommend options to remedy the problem or defend your position.
