1. Defects Caused By Manufacturing

By Sherry Smithson


If a product has injured you, contacting a defective product lawyer is the best move. During your free consultation, your lawyer will determine two things: whether your injury results from a defective product, and the types of compensation (wage loss, medical, pain and suffering, etc.) that you deserve if it does. While numerous products could cause defective product injuries, certain types of defectiveness are more common than others. Below, we list five common types of defectiveness that deserve the attention of a defective product lawyer.

1. Defects Caused By Manufacturing

A production defect known as a manufacturing defect happens when during the manufacturing process, a product acquires an imperfection making it hazardous to use. The manufacturer doesn't mean for this to occur but when it does, manufacturers are legally accountable for injuries caused by the defectivenss of their product.

2. Defected Designs

A design defect is a production defect that results from a product's unsafe design. Unlike manufacturing defects, design defects precede the manufacturing process, with the evidence of unsafe design often being discovered in 2D drawings and/or computerized data models that are directly manufactured from. Design defects can also apply to a variety of non-mechanical products.

3. Defects Related to Marketing

A marketing defect is a type of production defect that results from instructions that fail to indicate a product's proper use and/or advise against its misuse. Some marketing defects are the result of rushed production, while others result from poorly executed technical writing. In either case, a product's manufacturer is still liable for injuries that result from its lack of adequate instructions.

4. Food Poisoning

Food products can also cause product injuries that justify consulting a defective product lawyer. For example if you carefully follow instructions provided with a specific food product and become ill, you may have the right to be compensated for your illness. Whether your sickness led to hospitalization is irrelevant because according to the product liability law, hospitalization isn't a requirement for receiving compensation.

5. Chemical Related Injuries

Among other products, chemical injuries can be caused by items such as personal hygiene products, cosmetic products, and cleaning items that cause burns, rashes, and blisters. In numerous cases, the chemically injured person believes they are fine and are just suffering from an "allergic" reaction to the product. If you react negatively to a food product, the most helpful option is for you to have a defective product lawyer investigate your situation. Contact a defective product attorney for a free consultation and additional information regarding defective product injuries.
