What kinds of products may be dangers, defective and unsafe?

The list is almost endless. A summary would be:

defective tires (tread separations and blow outs);
cars or SUVs (rollovers, roof crush, seat belts, fuel systems and fires, mechanical failures);
motorcycles (instability, mechanical);
farm equipment and machinery (for example, a tractor with a defective transmission that slips into gear or an unguarded power take off);
industrial equipment and machinery (for example, a punch press that can be operated with someone's hand in the way);
power tools (for example, a power saw that kicks back without a guard and slices the operator);
firearms (for example, a handgun with a defective or dangerous safety device);
hunting and camping equipment (for example, a tree chair without harnesses);
gas stoves, heaters, fireplaces and grills (fires and explosions);
household products (often electrical);
medical devices (artificial joints, valves, equipment, pharmaceuticals);
trailers and jacks (for example, a trailer that is not properly balanced and the tongue lifts during transport or a jack that collapses);
playground and school equipment (for example, defective machinery in a shop class or playground equipment that is too hot without a protective surface on the ground);
products used by or for babies, infants, and toddlers (for example, a dangerous car seat or stroller).
