How to Establish a Product Liability Case

Given our experience with recalled and defective products, we put together the below list about common product liability claims. While the examples do not necessarily indicate what is wrong with the product, they may explain why a manufacturer may be at fault. These reasons include:

• A company is negligent if they did not take reasonable measures to ensure their product was not defective. This is regardless of whether the negligence was intentional or not intentional.
• Strict liability means that the manufacturer or seller of the good is legally responsible for damages and losses caused by the defective product.
• Breach of warranty specifies that a promise made about the product was broken, or the company did not deliver a product as expected.

Attorneys also may use other consumer protection claims, such as those outlined in the Consumer Product Safety Act and Federal Trade Commission Act, to argue a defective product case. Consult with a product liability lawyer who can discern if any of the reasons found above or others may qualify you to file a defective product lawsuit.

Why Was This Product Defective?

There are three main classification groups product liability law will use when determining if a product was defective. These groups are:

• A design defect indicates poor planning, which causes the product to be inherently ineffective or dangerous.
• A manufacturing defect is a flaw that occurs during the manufacturing process, such as poor workmanship.
• A marketing defect occurs when a company misrepresents their product, particularly through inadequate instructions. This includes when a product fails to warn consumers of a non-obvious danger associated with use.
