Generally in California, the law requires that a product meet
the ordinary expectations of the consumer. This means that
when a product possesses an unexpected defect or danger,
the product does not meet ordinary safety and use
expectations.

How Is A Product Defective?
Product defects are generally put into three categories: design defects, manufacturing defects, and
marketing defects. Design defects are, in a manner of speaking, intended. This type of defect is
inherent in the design of the product and may be a flaw in the construction plan of the merchandise.
Manufacturing defects on the other hand, are defects that were not intended, but were errors in the
item’s fabrication. Marketing defects are faults in the manner that a product is sold. This type of defect
includes inadequate warnings and instructions regarding the use of the product.
Who Is Responsible For A Defective Product?
Most of the products we buy and use are safe. However, some are carelessly made or improperly
designed. Poorly designed or manufactured products can be dangerous and can cause serious injury
or even death. An experienced products liability attorney is a necessity if you find yourself in this
daunting situation.
The rules dictating who is responsible for a defective product, and what must be proven in court to
hold them liable, vary from state to state. In most states, the parties who may be held liable for
defective products include:
- the designer
- the manufacturer of component parts
- someone who modified the product
- the wholesaler
- the dealer or retail seller
If you have been injured by a defective or dangerous product, it is important that you consult a
product liability attorney as soon as possible. Product liability cases are often quite complex, and will
require an attorney's specialized expertise from the beginning in order to ensure that all relevant
evidence and potential claims are preserved.
