Types of Product Liability Claims
Design defect: The design of the product itself was unreasonably dangerous and posed a threat to the user.
Manufacturing defect: The product became defective, faulty, or dangerous during the manufacturing process.
Failure to warn: The manufacturer did not include proper warnings of potential dangers when using the product. In this situation, the manufacturer was aware that the product could cause serious injuries if used incorrectly. If they failed to include warning labels, such as an age restriction or a choke hazard warning on a children’s toy, and a customer was hurt, that customer could pursue a claim against the manufacturer.
Marketing misrepresentation: The retailer or product’s marketing team misrepresented how the product should be used or failed to warn consumers of potential dangers or side effects. This is more common with pharmaceutical claims where the manufacturer was aware that a new medication could cause injuries or illnesses during treatment.
