Defective Products Claims
Posted By Phoenix Personal Injury Lawyer on Jan 19, 2010 5:30am PST
When a person suffers an injury or death due to a defective product, they have the right to sue the product manufacturer, distributor, and/or retailer for damages in a product liability lawsuit.
There are three main types of product liability lawsuits that can filed, depending on the type of defect:
- Design Defect: This refers to an inherent defect in the design of the product.
- Manufacturing Defect: When there isn't a defect with the design, but rather a product becomes defective during the manufacturing process, it is referred to as a manufacturing defect.
- Marketing Defect: Failing to include warning labels or failing to provide instructions on how to properly use the product are two examples of a marketing defect.
