FAQ

Morgan & Morgan

    Defective Product

    A defective product is one that is dangerous or harmful when used. These include:

    • Defective Design: The product design itself could be flawed, causing the end result to be defective. Also, the product could be advertised for an intended purpose but design flaws make it potentially dangerous to use. 
    • Defective Manufacture: While the design of a product can be stable, a faulty manufacturing process can cause the product to not malfunction. A manufacturing defect could be something small or large that causes the product to become dangerous or harmful, like a wiring issue in an electronic appliance which causes the product to overheat.
    • Defective Marketing: The product itself could be without flaws, but the advertising of the product could cause consumers to use it in an unsafe way. The advertising could make it seem safer than it actually is, display it being used in an unsafe manner, or fail to give proper instructions/warnings regarding the product use.

    While the manufacturer is commonly to blame in many product liability scenarios, it’s difficult to determine who’s at fault. But, by having a skilled product liability lawyer on your side, you can navigate through the complicated legal process and fight for compensation.

    Some common examples of intangible products are:
