When is a product considered defective?

A product may be considered defective if it presents a danger to the consumer when used as it is intended. In order to receive compensation through a product liability lawsuit, you must prove that your injuries were caused by the defective product.

What types of flaws make a product defective?

There are three main types of flaws which may cause a product to be considered defective:

Design defects occur when there is a flaw in the original design of the product which makes it dangerous to consumers.
Manufacturing defects occur when a product is designed properly, but an error in the manufacturing process creates a danger for the consumer.
Insufficient warning occurs when the manufacturer fails to include proper instructions, warnings, or risks as part of the packaging, causing consumers to not recognize a potential danger that may result from using the product.
