Common Defective Product Issues
The three most common product liability lawsuits are manufacturing defects, design flaws, and failure to warn. All of these claims assert that the plaintiff is owed compensation from the defendant because the defendant was aware that their product was faulty. The claimants must show that even though they used the product correctly, they were still injured due to the failure or defect in the product.
Manufacturing defect – This claim asserts that there was a flaw that occurred in the manufacturing process, which caused the product being manufactured not to be safe. A production often identifies these clams code and focus on a product that was manufactured within a specific time frame when the manufacturing flaw happened.
Poor design – this type of claim charges that there is something inherently unsafe in how the product was designed.
Failure to warn – This claim asserts that the manufacturer or other parties involved did not properly warn the buyer or user about any possible dangers posed by using the product or not giving adequate instruction for how to use the product in a safe manner.
Large product defect claims are often settled out of court and may be grouped as multi-district litigation (geographically) or consolidated as a class action case. The settlement will be publicized if the claim is consolidated as a class action case. Then, other consumers who were also injured by the defective product will be allowed to submit evidence to show that they deserve compensation.
