What Types Of Defects Can Lead To A Product Liability Claim?
There’s a lot that can go wrong between design and sale of a product. And unfortunately for the consumer, this can cause injuries and a product liability claim. A few of the types of defects that can lead to a claim include:
- Defective design – A design that makes the product inherently dangerous or is missing safeguards
- Failure to warn – A product that does not include the right instructions or includes flawed instructions for assembly, use or storage
- Hidden defects, such as:
- Toxic food – Food processed at a plant that is contaminated or dirty
- Toxic chemicals – The presence of lead paint or asbestos in products
- Dangerous medications – Medications that have side-effects that only become apparent after they are approved and in use
- Medical devices – Some medical devices have defects that are not known until they are used by the consumer
This is a general overview of some of the defects that are grounds for a product liability claim. Your attorney can give you a better understanding of your case and whether or not a product liability claim is applicable to your situation.
