FAQ

What Is a Product Defect? When a product is defective, it means that the product has some kind of flaw or problem that makes it unreasonably dangerous to use. A product may be defective because of poor design, manufacturing errors, or a failure to warn consumers about potential dangers.

These defects may be detected by evaluating color, odor, and texture of foods, as well as through sampling of products. Defects are part of the normal process of growing and processing food. When they rise to "actionable levels" and/or pose a health hazard to the public, they can trigger a recall.

With regard to products liability, a defendant is liable when the plaintiff proves that the product is defective, regardless of the defendant's intent. It is irrelevant whether the manufacturer or supplier exercised great care; if there is a defect in the product that causes harm, he or she will be liable for it.

It might be worth contacting the manufacturer initially, just to make sure you're using the product correctly. But if the problem truly is a defect, it's best to return the item for a refund or exchange—if the retailer allows it and you're still in the return period.

If a conscientious company has discovered a defect with one of its products, it may issue a product recall. Through the recall, they accept the financial burden of replacing, fixing, or reimbursing consumers for the defective goods.

Federally, retailers must accept returns under two basic scenarios. First, federal law requires refunds if the product is defective. Small variations or cosmetic defects might not legally require a refund. But significant problems with the product's safety or functionality could conflict with the product's advertising.

If the retailer refuses to replace or repair the product, then the retailer will have to prove that you the consumer has caused the fault. If they cannot prove that you caused the fault, then you are entitled to a repair, a replacement or even a refund.
