The Top 5 Common Warning Signs of a Defective Product There are unusual or unexpected malfunctions. Recalls or safety alerts have been released. There is an increased risk of injuries or illnesses. A lack of clear instructions or warnings exists on the labeling. Unexpected or severe adverse effects occur after use.

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.

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.

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.

Important evidence to have includes: Defective product itself (preserve the product as best you can) All receipts, sales contracts, and other documents concerning the product. Documentation of injuries (i.e. photos, medical records, accident reports) Medical bills and payroll records to prove your financial losses.

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.

Under California state law, anyone who is responsible for developing, manufacturing, or distributing merchandise of any kind bears responsibility if that merchandise is inherently defective, lacked sufficient instructions on proper usage, or was improperly manufactured.
