What Makes a Product Defective?
In the most general terms, a product is defective if it contains a flaw that inhibits the product’s ability to function properly or makes it inherently unreasonably unsafe for normal, typical use.
There are three primary types of product defects:
- Design Defects: These occur at the beginning stages of production when a product is being initially designed. If the design of a product makes it unreasonably dangerous and the risks outweigh the benefits, it could have a design defect.
- Manufacturing Defects: These defects occur during the actual production stage and typically involve some error or contamination introduced during manufacturing that renders the product unreasonably unsafe or faulty.
- Labeling/Marketing Defects: These occur when a product lacks proper safety warnings, instructions, and other important labels or when a product is improperly advertised or marketed for off-label use.
Some of the most commonly defective products include automobiles and auto parts, such as tires, seatbelts, or airbags. Other defective products include pharmaceutical drugs, medical devices, children’s toys, household appliances, tools, heavy machinery, and more.
If you or a loved one has sustained serious injuries due to a defective product, call us at (888) 365-4940 to discuss your options with a knowledgeable New York product liability lawyer.
