Types of Defective Product Cases

A defective product case may arise if a product is considered defective or unsafe or if the product fails to meet design, construction, or performance standards and causes harm to an individual. The following are a few examples of how defective products cause harm:

• A lamp, toaster, or laptop computer that causes an electric shock or a fire
• A dangerous toy or other product designed for children which may have a fire hazard or other safety issue.
• A defect in an automobile, such as faulty brakes or other car parts, which causes a high-speed crash, which may be grounds for a crashworthiness claim.

Types of defective product cases, or product liability claims, include manufacturing defect cases, design defect cases, and cases in which there were insufficient instructions or warnings on the product.
