Dangerous Product Defects
Every product you buy needs to meet industry standards and expectations for safety. If it does not, then it could arguably be described as defective. A product defect is not something that takes only one form, though.
The three main forms of product defects are:
- Design: A design defect is an issue with a product that happens during the design phase before it is ever created or sold. Products that are defective by design cannot be safe under any circumstance.
- Manufacturing: A manufacturing defect is an issue with a product that happens in between the design stage and the point-of-sale. Manufacturing defects will not always affect entire products but will instead affect a batch or lot of them.
- Marketing: A marketing defect is an issue with how a product is advertised or explained to a consumer, including how to safely use it. For example, a power tool that comes with no safety instructions is defective by marketing flaws because it should reasonably come with a manual that explains how to use it to best avoid injury.
