Defining a Defective Product: What You Need to Know

There is an important distinction between a product that is defective and one that is simply dangerous. Namely, a dangerous product is not necessarily defective just because it poses some risk to the user. For a product to be considered “defective,” it must contain some flaw that renders it unreasonably and/or inherently unsafe for ordinary, typical use.

There are three main categories of product defects:

• Design Defects: A product with a defective design is one that has been designed in such a way that it is inherently unsafe for normal use. Even when the consumer uses the product as intended, he or she is at an unreasonable risk of foreseeable injury.
• Manufacturing Defects: When products become contaminated or a flaw is introduced during the production phase, they are said to have manufacturing defects. In such cases, the actual design of the product is sound, but the flaw makes it unreasonably unsafe for normal use.
• Labeling/Marketing Defects: A labeling or marketing defect refers to a product that is missing important safety information, instructions, warnings, or other labels. It can also refer to a product that is improperly marketed for off-label or untested use.

At Morris Haynes Attorneys at Law, our Alabama defective product lawyers know how to identify types of product defects and, importantly, how to use this information to determine the liable party.

We often work with teams of specialists and expert witnesses who help us evaluate how a defective product has contributed to our client’s injuries and then prove this to the judge or jury.

Identifying Common Defective Products

Although any product has the potential to be defective, some are more often the subject of product liability litigation than others.

Common examples of defective products include:

• Automobiles and auto parts, such as seatbelts, airbags, and engine components
• Prescription drugs and over-the-counter (OTC) medications
• Medical devices, including hip/knee replacements and Alere INRatio blood coagulation monitors
• Guns, ammunition, and firearm-related accessories
• Household cleaning supplies, chemicals, and gas-powered appliances
• Industrial and agricultural tools, chemicals, equipment, and supplies
• Children’s products, such as toys, cribs, car seats, bottles, blankets, and more
• Electronics, including personal computers, commercial equipment, and chargers
• E-cigarettes and vapes, as well as related products
