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.
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.
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.
