Product manufacturers are held to strict quality standards. If these standards are breached in one of the following ways, the manufacturer or distributor may be found at fault for injuries caused by a defective product.  

• Manufacturing Errors – If a product has manufacturing defects due to human or mechanical errors and still ends up on the market, then you will be dealing with a manufacturing defect claim. Manufacturing errors can be difficult to prove, which is why it is essential to work with a product liability lawyer who can thoroughly document your case and gather evidence to support your claim.  
• Design Defects – In some cases, a product is faulty from the start due to an inherently unsafe design. These products may be manufactured to the outlined specifications, but the design made them unsuitable for consumer use to begin with. It is common for these types of liability claims to be class action lawsuits, as numerous individuals may be impacted.  
• Misleading Marketing (Failure to Warn) – Failure to warn relates to a lack of warnings or instructions facilitating safe use of a product or misleading marketing that leads to misuse of a product.
