Strong Representation For Your Defective Product Injury Claim
Defective products cause thousands of injuries in the US every year. As consumers, we have expectations for the safety and effectiveness of the products we purchase. We rely on the manufacturers to make sure the products they make and sell are tested to work safely according to the regulations, laws and standards set forth by the US Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC). However, some products with malfunctions or unforeseen dangers have been negligently sold to unknowing consumers that cause personal injury and sometimes even death.

What is Considered a Defective Product?
The legal definition of a defective product is a consumer product that has an imperfection due to an error in design or manufacturing or is faulty because of inadequate consumer warnings or user instructions. Defective products can be any commercially available item available for purchase by an individual consumer from companies who manufacture and/or sell packaged goods, beverages, electronics, prescription and OTC medication, food production, automobiles, toys and more. A product’s defective condition can result from many different things, including:
- Design Flaw
- Manufacturing Error
- Improper Labeling
- Insufficient Instructions
- Malicious Intent
- Poor Judgement
- Human Error
The Three Types of Product Liability Claims
While there are many different reasons a product may be defective, there are three types of claims for defective products. The manufacturer is liable for negligence at every stage of the product’s development, production and release. Consumers can file a claim based on one of the following three reasons for defective and dangerous products causing property damage, injury or death:
1. Design Defects
Harm or injury resulting from a poorly-designed product or the designer’s failure to address all possible risks in a product’s design and intended use.
2. Manufacturing Defects
Property damage, injury or death caused by poor quality materials, improper assembly and careless quality control during the manufacturing process.
3. Marketing Defects
Injury or harm caused by improper or confusing instructions or a manufacturer’s failure to warn consumers about a possible safety hazard

Defective Product Injury Questions and Answers
Our Q & A is a helpful resource for anyone who has suffered a defective product injury or wants to learn more about the legal process surrounding these types of injuries. Below you’ll find valuable information on a range of topics, from insurance claims to personal injury lawsuits.
- The dangerous condition must be designed out of the product if such can be done without destroying the utility of the product. If this can’t be done then:
- The dangerous condition of the product must be guarded against. If the dangerous condition of the product can’t be guarded against then:
- A warning must be given that the dangerous condition of the product can cause injury or death
In a manufacturing flaw case, the claim is that the injury or death was caused by a flaw in the manufacturing of the defective product and that the product was not manufactured properly which resulted in a dangerous condition that made the product defective and dangerous and caused injury or death.
The manufacturer of a product which is reasonably certain to be dangerous if used in a way which is foreseeable, is under a duty to give adequate warning of any danger known to him or which in the use of reasonable care he should have known and which the user of the product would have not ordinarily discovered.
The economic and noneconomic damages you could receive may be significant. A reputable attorney will give you an honest assessment of your claim and your options.
