FAQ

A product defect is any characteristic of a product which hinders its usability for the purpose for which it was designed and manufactured. Product defects arise most prominently in legal contexts regarding product safety, where the term is applied to "anything that renders the product not reasonably safe".

There are three types of product defects: design defects, manufacturing defects, and warning/instruction defects. All three types of defects have to do with a product being faulty or inadequate in some way.

Some examples of manufacturing defects include: Using the wrong materials when constructing a product, including screws, bolts, and fasteners. Erroneously assembling materials and parts. Incorrectly installing wires and circuitry. Using harmful chemicals during the production process.

Your lawyer must establish a direct link between the breach of duty (defective product) and the injuries that you sustained. The attorney must show that the defect was a substantial factor in causing the harm, connecting the defendant's actions or omissions to the resulting injuries.

Florida, as with most states, uses a strict liability system when it comes to design defect product liability cases. Simply put, this means that a manufacturer, designer or seller can be held responsible for damages a product causes even though there is no evidence of negligence in the design process.

A toy box was defectively manufactured – the hinges were not installed properly on the lid. If a child is playing with the box and the lid closes too quickly because of the defective hinges, it can cause serious injuries to the child.

A product may be considered defective due to flaws in manufacturing, errors in design, or defects in marketing materials and instructions. Some products have multiple defects which make them dangerous for use by the public and in an industrial setting.

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.

Strict Liability 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.
