What is a defective product?

Product Injury

Times, tax laws, and legal precedents have changed, and people going into business for themselves in the 21st century have also had to change how they go about creating a business entity.
A defective product is one that causes injury or death in the course of its normal use. A manufacturer or seller can be held liable for placing a defective product in the hands of a consumer.

Overview


What types of defects are there?

There are design defects, manufacturing defects and marketing defects. A design defect is inherent in the product. A manufacturing defect occurs during the course of the product’s assembly. A marketing defect concerns the way a product is marketed such as improper labeling, insufficient instructions or inadequate safety warnings.
