Types of Product Defects
Products may be defective due to design flaws, manufacturing errors, or a failure to provide adequate warnings. Regardless of the defect type, proving negligence is crucial for obtaining compensation. The three defect categories are:
- Design Defects: Occur when safety considerations are overlooked during product design. Proving a safer, economically feasible design is essential.
- Manufacturing Defects: Arise when deviations from the intended design occur during the manufacturing process. Holding manufacturers accountable requires evidence of these deviations.
- Failure to Warn: Products can pose risks if used incorrectly. Companies must provide adequate warnings to prevent harm. Failure to do so can result in liability.
California Statute of Limitations
