If you were seriously hurt by a product you bought online, you may wonder whether you can hold the manufacturer accountable. A recent federal ruling in Marion v. Anchor Hocking, LLC confirms that in some cases, Maryland law allows you to seek not only compensation for your medical costs but also punitive damages. That additional relief applies when the manufacturer’s actions show reckless disregard for safety.
In this case, a glass jar shattered and severely injured a Maryland resident. The court declined to dismiss the claim, allowing it to move forward and leaving open the possibility of punitive damages. If a defective or dangerous product hurt you, this decision shows that your case may be stronger than you think.
