FAQ
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.
There are three types of product defects: design defects, manufacturing defects, and warning/instruction defects.
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.
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.
Defective products can result from design flaws, manufacturing errors, or inadequate warnings. Common examples include faulty electronics that overheat, dangerous toys with small parts, and defective automotive components that cause accidents.
For example, a car design that makes the vehicle prone to rolling over, a toy designed with small parts that can cause choking, or a piece of furniture that is unstable and likely to tip over can all have design defects.
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.
When a badly manufactured product leaves the manufacturer and causes injury when used for its intended purpose, the manufacturer is liable for any injuries that result under the principle of strict liability. Liability arises even if the manufacturer was very reasonable and careful when putting together the product.
Important evidence to have includes: Defective product itself (preserve the product as best you can) All receipts, sales contracts, and other documents concerning the product. Documentation of injuries (i.e. photos, medical records, accident reports) Medical bills and payroll records to prove your financial losses.
In most cases, the liability falls on the manufacturer and sometimes the retailer. Product liability is based on the principle that all consumers have a fundamental right to safe and effective products.
