What to do with defective products?

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.

FAQ

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.

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.

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.

Product liability is one part of tort law that holds companies accountable for a defective product when it causes harm to another person. The defect is often the result of negligence when designing, making, and selling a product. Successful product liability claims rest on showing that: The company acted negligently.

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.

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.

Generally, to prove product liability you must prove that an inherent defect or misinformation within the product caused the damages claimed. In other words, the plaintiff must prove that the product was inherently defective and that the defect in the product has caused injury or damage.

Product liability law is a legal framework designed to hold manufacturers, distributors, suppliers, retailers, and other entities accountable for injuries caused by defective or dangerous products. This area of law ensures that consumers are protected from harm and can seek compensation if a product injures them.
