Design Defects

Design defects can be traced back to the earliest stages of product development. When a product is initially conceived, and the idea is expressed on paper, errors or miscalculations can make that product inherently unsafe from the start. Likewise, when safer, but more-or-less equally cost-effective alternatives in the design are either not considered or ignored altogether, the designer may be held accountable for any ensuing injuries or deaths.

Common examples of products with design defects include kitchen appliances that overheat and cause fires due to faulty mechanical or wiring specs, and automobiles that are unsafe because they are structurally unfit to withstand a rollover or other accident.

Manufacturing Defects

Manufacturing defects occur when a product is being fabricated, resulting in that product being unforeseeably dangerous to the consumer when it is being used for its intended purpose. These products may or may not have been designed properly; often, manufacturing defects result from a failure to follow the design specs to the letter.

Common examples of products with manufacturing defects include products with missing pieces or parts, as well as products that are damaged during the manufacturing process, yet escape the manufacturer's quality control screens.

Marketing Defects

Marketing defects occur when product manufacturers fail to include proper instructions for use of a product or fail to warn consumers of the risks associated with the use of a product, especially those risks that would not be readily apparent to a reasonable person. Marketing defects often result from the failure of a manufacturer to include clear labels on their products. Many defective drug lawsuits arise from marketing defects.
