Types of Defective Product Liability Claims

Posted on Apr 21, 2016 9:45am PDT

If you’ve suffered injuries from a product you were using, you may be able to file a defective product liability claim. The type of claim you file will fall into one of three product liability categories: defectively manufactured, defectively designed, and failure to provide adequate warning. In this blog, our New York product liability attorney explains what each claim entails and how it can impact your case.

Defectively Manufactured

This is the most common type of defective product claim. A defectively manufactured product is one that is flawed due to an error that occurred when the product was being made. Examples of a defectively manufactured product includes a swing set with a cracked chain or a moped with missing brake pads.

Defectively Designed

Defectively designed products include any product that is dangerous because of an error in its design. While a defect in a product’s manufacturing affects just one product, a defective design can cause an entire line of products to be dangerous. An example of a defectively designed product could include a line of sunglasses that fail to protect your eyes from UV rays or a specific car model that tends to flip over when turning a corner.

Failure to Provide Adequate Warning

If a product’s proper usage poses a risk of injury and there’s no warning label on the product, you would be filing a claim in this category. These types of defective products are ones that are dangerous in a way that is not obvious to its users. A tea kettle with an oddly positioned steam valve, for example, can fall under a failure-to-warn claim if there’s no label notifying the user of the steam valve.

If you’ve been injured by a defective product, contact a Long Island product liability lawyer from Laurence A. Silverman, Esq. to learn about your case and legal options. Call us today at (631) 925-2117 or fill out our online form to request your free consultation.
