Types of Product Defects

As consumers, we rely on a variety of different products to get us through our day. We need a bed to sleep on, a house to protect us, and a car to drive from place to place. This is not even counting the cleaning products we use and the devices that entertain us. However, when these products fail, it can cause injury to you and those you love.

If you have been injured by a defective product, you should speak to an attorney regarding the legal aspects of product liability. To discuss your case with a Charlotte personal injury lawyer, call the Law Offices of William K. Goldfarb today at 866-298-0768.

Design Flaws

Some items are doomed to fail before they even make it to the production room. When products have a flaw in their design that can result in juries, the producer can be held at fault for creating a dangerous product. Because design flaws come from a single blueprint, they affect the whole line of products.

Manufacturing Defects

Once a product design goes to the manufacturer, the production process itself can create a harmful item. Using toxic ingredients such as lead-based paint or utilizing a faulty part can also contribute to manufacturing defects. Manufacturing defects may only affect a batch of products or even just an item, such as a “lemon” car.

Improper Labeling

The marketing team is typically in charge of labeling a product with its proper warnings. For instance, some toys have parts that can choke small children. If these toys fail to warn caregivers of these hazards, it can cause injuries to the children that play with the item.
