Defective Products

The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) reports that nearly 30 million Americans are injured by defective products each year. When a defective or dangerous product results in serious personal injury, product liability laws enable victims to sue manufacturers, distributors, and/or vendors for compensation.

• Design defects are flaws in the intentional design of a product that make it unreasonably dangerous. Product liability claims arising from design defects generally require proof of negligence.
• A defective product has a manufacturing defect if it does not conform to the designers' specifications. Product liability claims involving manufacturing defects are generally considered to be among the easiest to prove because its own design can be used to prove it is defective.
• Product liability claims arising from marketing defects often involve improper labeling, incorrect or insufficient instructions, or inadequate safety warnings.

Product Liability

Product liability law holds manufacturers, distributors, and/or vendors liable for injuries sustained by a consumer’s exposure to or use of dangerous product. Product liability law consists of three areas under which liability is determined and recovery is applied: strict liability, negligence, and breach of warranty.

• Strict liability - As it is applied to product liability law, strict liability holds a manufacturer responsible for a defective product, even if the manufacturer was not guilty of negligence. There is no need to prove negligence, but the injured party must prove that the product was defective.
• Negligence - When a manufacturer, distributor, or vendor acts recklessly and their actions injure another person, they may be considered legally negligent. Since it is difficult to prove that a manufacturer, distributor, or vendor acted negligently, these types of defective product claims are rare.
• Breach of Warranty - A warranty is violated when a promise, whether expressed or implied, is broken. All products come with an implied warranty, under which they are presumed to be safe for their intended use.
