Product liability refers to the liability a manufacturer, supplier, retailer, or other provider of a product or service may have for injuries or damage caused by such product or service. Every year, thousands of preventable deaths, injuries and instances of property damage occur due to defective products. It is estimated that there are 200-300 product recalls each year, many involving toys and children’s products.
Contact a product liability lawyer to handle your defective product claim.
There are principally two kinds of defective products, those with design flaws, and those that are improperly manufactured.
A design defect basically takes place when a manufacturer utilizes a faulty engineering process to design a product that turns out to be unnecessarily dangerous. In such case, all of the products emanating from the manufacturer’s assembly line tend to have the same defect.
A manufacturing defect takes place when the product is not made as designed. The design may be fine, but the manner in which the product was assembled is flawed. The problem may affect only some of the products that roll off the line.
A product may also be considered defective if it does not live up to its warranties or guarantees, or if it has incomplete, incorrect or unclear guidelines or instructions for use.
