Defective products can cause extreme damage to individuals from children to seniors. The manufacturer, designer, supplier, seller, or provider of a service may be held liable for any injuries sustained from these defective products.
Causes of Defective Products:
- Blown-out tires
- Nail gins that fire without being depressed on wood
- SUVs with too high a center of gravity
- Lawnmowers with no protection from shooting rocks on the side
- Baking pans that collapse under the weight of heavy food
- Helmets made out of breakable plastic
- Defective medical prescriptions or implants
Types of Product Liability Cases:
- The product had a defective design. The design is inherently unsafe, although manufactured according to the plans. The designer is held liable for the hazardous product.
- Although the product was designed appropriately, it was manufactured incorrectly, creating a defect. The manufacturer is held liable for the hazardous product.
- The instructions or warnings on the product were absent, inaccurate, or ineffective. Those who designed or created the instructions or accompanying paperwork may be held liable for their negligence.
Product designers have a duty to design a safe and effective product. If a defect cannot be “designed out,” the manufacturer has a duty to avoid such hazards and manufacture the product as effectively and safely as possible. This will also include designing accurate instructions and hazard warning for the product.
If you have been seriously injured by a defective product, it is extremely important that you seek the aid of an experienced defective product attorney as soon as possible.
