What is a Defective Product?<\/b><\/h2>\n

In legal terms, if a product should malfunction while you are using it for its intended purpose, then you have a defective product on your hands. If a consumer is injured while using the product, then this product can be labeled unreasonably dangerous.<\/span><\/p>\n

Have you experienced an injury from a defective product and are wondering how to categorize it?<\/span><\/p>\n

Three types of defects can lead to consumer injury:<\/span><\/p>\n

Design Defect<\/b><\/h3>\n

These are flawed products released to the public, and although manufactured properly, a defect in the design renders it dangerous to consumers.<\/span><\/p>\n

Manufacturing Defect<\/b><\/h3>\n

Although designed well, these products encounter a fault in the manufacturing process that causes the product to become dangerous and not safe for use.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Marketing Defect<\/b>\u00a0<\/b><\/h3>\n

Marketing defects are a result of poor and misleading advertising of the products. For example, incorrect labeling, lack of instructions, and inadequate safety warnings. The instructions must provide warnings for incorrectly using a product and what not to do to avoid harm.<\/span><\/p>\n

If you have been unfortunate enough to sustain an injury, you will have to prove that the product was defective and unreasonably dangerous, and that nothing else could have caused the injury. It\u2019s important to save as much evidence as you can to help prove your claim.<\/span><\/p>\n
