Types of Product Defects

In a product defect case, the plaintiff often needs to prove that the product was unreasonably dangerous in order to prove product liability. Generally, this can be shown in three different areas:

Warnings

Failure by the manufacturer or seller to adequately warn about possible dangers associated with the product or failure to provide clear instructions for use can result in deadly consequences for the consumer.

For example, automobile coolants are extremely poisonous if ingested. Failure to properly label those products with a warning about their toxic nature could lead to poisoning.

Design

Design defects can cause products that are manufactured perfectly to design specifications to fail during use.

For example, SUVs are often constructed with roofs that cannot support the weight of the vehicle in a rollover accident. In those types of accidents the result is the roof crushing occupants when the vehicle flips upside down.

Manufacture

Manufacturing defects render a product dangerous because it is assembled improperly.

For example, if an airbag in a car is not properly installed, it may deploy at the wrong time and injure occupants of the vehicle.

If any of the above circumstances occur and cause injury, you likely have a case against the manufacturer or retailer to recover compensation for your injuries.
