FAQ
You have the right to a repair, replacement or full refund if your goods are faulty, unsafe, do not work, or are very different from the description or sample. You have the right to the problem being fixed, a cancellation and partial or full refund, or compensation, if the services you received are not right.
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 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.
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.
Reporting Consumer Products Begin by filing a report at .SaferProducts or call their hotline at (800) 638-2772. They will ask you to provide detailed information about the product, the incident, and, whenever possible, photographs of the defective item.
Methods to Ensure Complete and Correct Destruction of Failed Production Shred or crush your defective products. By shredding or crushing the failed or expired products, you ensure they can no longer be sold or used. Incinerate your defective products. Recycle your defective products.
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".
Elements of a Successful Defective Product Complaint Letter Details about the defect or malfunction, including when and where it occurred, what caused it, and how the product or service failed to meet your expectations. What you want to be done about the problem, which may include a repair, refund or replacement.
To successfully sue for a defective product, you need to prove that: The defendant designed, manufactured, distributed or sold a defective product to the consumer. The consumer used reasonable care when using the product. The consumer was injured due to the defect in the product.
