A Business Has a Responsibility to their Customer
Businesses have a legal responsibility to their customers to produce and distribute products that are safe for use or consumption. When injuries are suffered due to the use or consumption of a product, a product liability claim questions the means by which a product was ensured to be safe and dependable. Although obvious to some, dangers must be addressed by manufacturers for the safety of consumers. This is the case even if a manufacturer learns of the issue after the product has been distributed.
What Constitutes a Defective Product Claim?
The three basic type of defective products are below.
- Manufacturing Defects: The product was made unsafe by the process in which it was made. The product itself is not unsafe, the defect is with a departure from the product’s intended design. For example, the materials used differ from the intended design and are not strong enough for the intended purpose of the product, causing failure.
- Design Defect: Design errors are flaws in the manufacturing of a product. There are two subcategories
of design defects which are “inadvertent design errors” and “conscious design choices.” - Insufficient Instructions/Warnings: There is no issue with the design or manufacturing of a product. If used correctly, the product poses no risk. However, if someone is still injured or killed, an argument can be made that the product should have been made safer.
Any product can be defective, but products with history of defects include:
- Electrical wiring
- Apparel
- Cosmetics
- Tanning Beds
- Age-inappropriate toys that cause choking hazards or injuries
- Toys and jewelry containing lead or other toxins
- Contaminated food
