FAQ

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.

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.

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.

Your lawyer must establish a direct link between the breach of duty (defective product) and the injuries that you sustained. The attorney must show that the defect was a substantial factor in causing the harm, connecting the defendant's actions or omissions to the resulting injuries.

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 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.

There are two main ways to prove a product liability case: 1- the Consumer-Expectation Test and 2- the Risk Utility Test. Under both tests, the plaintiff has the burden to prove that the product that caused injury was defective and unreasonably dangerous.
