DEFECTIVE PRODUCT ATTORNEYS

There are various types of product defects that can ultimately give rise to injuries that may lead to a defective product claim. Some common types of product defects that can give rise to a legal claim include the following:

• Manufacturing product defects – A manufacturing defect exists when something goes wrong during the manufacturing process that causes the product to malfunction when it is purchased and used (in an intended manner) by the consumer. A defect in the manufacturing process, for example, might cause the product to explode when the consumer purchases and uses it, resulting in the consumer suffering an injury.
• Design defects – A design defect exists when a product is not designed in the proper manner, and this defective design causes the consumer to suffer an injury. When determining whether or not a design defect exists, the costs of precautions may be balanced against the likelihood of injury associated with the product.
• Warning defects – A warning defect exists when warnings associated with product use are absent from the product or are not located in an area where the consumer is reasonably expected to read and appreciate them. A warning defect may exist, for example, if the product contains small pieces, no warning is present, and a child puts a piece in his or her mouth and swallows it, resulting in a serious injury or death.

An experienced defective product lawyer can review the circumstances leading up to your injuries and determine if you are eligible to file a defective product claim in your case.
