Defective Products – Los Angeles Product Liability Lawsuits

Product Liability Law

No matter what type of product a manufacturer creates or a storeowner sells, they have a legal obligation to make sure it is safe for you and your family to purchase and use for its intended purpose. This obligation extends to the design, manufacture, and marketing of a product, including clear and thorough product instructions and warning labels.

The Different Forms of Product Liability

There are three basic types of product defects:

Design

A design flaw occurs even before the product is manufactured. One recent example of a defective design is the design of the SUV. These vehicles were designed with a high center of gravity, which can cause the vehicle to roll over in certain situations.

Manufacturing

The majority of product defects occur during the manufacturing process. For example, screws or bolts may not be properly tightened, causing a part to fly off and injure someone injure or kill someone.

Marketing

A marketing defect is not a defect in the product itself. Rather, the defect arises from instructions, warnings, or guidelines for using the product that are unclear, confusing, missing vital information, or even deliberately misleading.
