Types of Product Liability Cases

“Product Liability” refers to situations in which a faulty, dangerous, or defective product caused a personal injury. There are three main ways a product may cause serious harm to those who use them:

Design defect

A product may have been designed in an inherently dangerous way. This would mean every product poses potential harm to users, even when manufactured as intended. 

Manufacturing defect

A product may have been designed safely, but the final version was unsafe due to an error in the manufacturing process. The marketing defects could affect a single product, or a series of products made with the same faults in the manufacturing process.

Marketing or warning defect

When a product has been designed and manufactured with consumer safety in mind, a company may fail to include warnings to prevent harm to users. If marketing material is misleading and doesn’t include warnings or all potential side effects, it also falls into this category.

  • Farm equipment, tractors, or heavy machinery

Frequency of Potential Defective Product Cases

While we hope product safety is top of mind for manufacturers of all kinds, unsafe products can be found on the market more frequently than you would think. Look at the FDA’s running list of drug and other product recalls. The actual examples span from undeclared peanuts in baked goods (a dangerous allergen for some) to mislabeled drugs that carry ingredients capable of causing drops in blood pressure that are “life-threatening.” Other industries, outside of food and medicines, may be less regulated.

When you claim a company’s product is defective, you can expect them to put up a fight. They have legal teams of corporate defense attorneys who work to ward off claims and lawsuits. When represented by the trial attorneys at McCraw Law Group, you can trust that your claim or lawsuit will be managed by a top-tier product liability lawyer in Amarillo– who cares about you and your family.
