Manufacturers, distributers, and retailers have a responsibility to ensure that when a product is put on the market, it is safe for use. In circumstances when a product is not reliable, safe, or fit for the purpose it was purchased for, it can result in an accident that can cause a serious personal injury.
The question of a viable product liability claim centers around whether or not the manufacturer, distributer, or seller lived up to their responsibilities. Under product liability there are three categories of defects:
- Manufacturing – defects are related to the production and manufacturing of the product.
- Flawed Design – defects that arise in the design of the product. Improper testing of the product can lead to releasing a product that is defective.
- Marketing Defects – defects that are the result of improper marketing including labelling or lack thereof, inadequate instructions or warnings, pictures showing or encouraging unsafe use.
