Types of Defects in Product Liability Cases

In order to proceed with a product liability case, your lawyer must be able to identify the type of defect that caused your injury. Defective products must fall under one of the following categories:

Design Defects: There is a fundamental flaw in the way the product was designed. The product may have been manufactured correctly, but the product presents a danger to consumers because of an incorrect design. For example, if a chair company designs a three-legged chair that is prone to tipping over and the company does not change the design to minimize possible harm to consumers, that is a design defect.

Manufacturing Defects: There was a problem during the manufacturing process that made the otherwise safe product unsafe. There is no problem with the product’s inherent design, but something went wrong during production. For example, if parts were not fastened together correctly during the manufacturing of machinery, that is a manufacturing defect.

Failure to Warn: There is nothing wrong with the product itself, but consumers were not warned about possible dangers or given the proper instructions for use. Some products can be sold even if they are not 100% safe, but companies are required to inform consumers about potential risks. For example, if a hair dryer company does not include a label warning consumers about the possibility of electric shock if the dryer comes in contact with water, that is a failure to warn.

Injuries from Dangerous Products

Research from the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission shows that nearly 30 million people are injured by defective products each year. These injuries can range from minor to catastrophic, with some injuries even resulting in death.

A defective product may cause:

• Wrongful death
• Traumatic brain injuries
• Spinal cord injuries
• Paralysis
• PTSD
• Organ damage
• Eye loss
• Cuts and lacerations
• Concussions
• Burns
• Broken bones and fractures
• Amputation

These types of injuries can completely alter the course of your life. You don’t need to suffer in silence while the parties responsible for your injuries continue to put consumers in danger.
