In the legal community, a defective or dangerous product is a product that is considered unreasonably safe for its intended use or purpose. When people engage in reasonable use of a product, use a product as intended, and follow directions and warning labels, they should not suffer injuries.
Anytime people have been injured by a dangerous or defective product, they should know that the product’s defects could link back to a manufacturer, designer, or even retailer. Generally speaking, there are three main reasons why some products are defective:
1) The products are manufactured as intended, but are not safe for intended use. This is called a design defect.
2) The products’ design is safe, but the products were made with flaws that may cause harm to consumers. This is known as a manufacturing defect.
3) The products’ instructions or warning labels are insufficient or fail to provide consumers with warnings about potential hazards. This is known as insufficient warning label.
