Types of Product Liability Claims

Product manufacturers have an obligation to produce products that are safe for their intended purpose, or any reasonably foreseeable use of a product. This obligation applies whether a product is designed for a household or industrial purpose. There are a number of types of product defects that can lead to successful product liability claims.

• Design Defects - Design defects occur when a product would have been safe except for a flaw in the design. Product manufacturers often counter this argument by claiming that at the time the product was manufactured there was no reasonable alternative design that would have increased the safety of the product.
  
• Manufacturing Defects - Manufacturing defects occur when the process used to manufacture the product caused or contributed to the injuries caused by the product. Some of the issues commonly considered when establishing manufacturing defect claims include: whether the manufacturer followed the design specification of the product; whether their process was a deviation for the formula established for the manufacture of the product; and whether the manufacturing process was different from the process for manufacturing identical products. Manufacturing defects can also involve substandard materials used in the manufacture of a product.
  
• Marketing Defects - Marketing defects when manufacturers, distributors, or retailers market products for an unintended purpose. Injuries related to marketing defects often result from a lack of testing for the use of the product.
  
• Failure to Warn - Many industrial products, power tools, and household products are inherently dangerous. When a product poses a significant risk of injury when used for its intended purpose, manufacturers must warn consumers of the danger. Failure to warn end-users that a specific use of a product may cause injury constitutes a failure to warn.
  
• Failure to Guard - Just because a manufacturer places warnings to consumers that a product is dangerous, does not mean that they are absolved of responsibility for injuries caused by that product. When manufacturers know that a product presents significant dangers, they have an obligation to design the product in a manner that protects users from injury.
