The world in which we live is advanced, sophisticated and technologically complex. Yet, we still have a simple, basic expectation that the products available to us will be safe for our use. We expect them to be designed, manufactured and labeled in such a way as to protect us from being harmed by these products. Yet, not all designers, manufacturers and sellers live up to this standard... or to the requirements of the laws that govern their products.
The three ways a product can be dangerous:
Design flaw — When a product is designed with a defect that makes it inherently dangerous even given perfect manufacturing
Manufacturing flaw — When a product is designed to be safe but becomes dangerous as a result of the manufacturing process
Inadequate warnings or instructions — When a product contains unclear or incorrect instructions or lacks sufficient labeling to ensure safe use.
In certain cases, it may not be necessary to prove the manufacturer's negligence. A "strict product liability" claim can be established if you can prove that the product was defective, the defect existed prior to the product's release and the defect was what led to your damages.
