What Is A Defective Product?
A defective product is a product that is not safe for its intended use. Sometimes the danger of a defective product arises from the actual design of the product itself. An example would be three-wheel all-terrain vehicles. In other instances the dangers of a defective product arise from a mistake in the manufacturing process. An example of this might be a case where a car fuel line was installed improperly and resulted in an explosion. Often defective product cases of this nature are difficult to prove. Another example of a defective product is a product that fails to properly instruct or warn its users of a products proper usage and dangers. The most famous example of this is the McDonald's hot coffee case.
Fort Worth Defective Product Cases
Defective product cases are inherently complex. First a successful defective product case must show either a manufacturing defect, a defect in the design of the product, or a failure to properly warn. Some of these legal theories can be very difficult to prove. For example, a manufacturing defect theory is often difficult to prove because the product in question is often destroyed or demolished when the accident occurs. If a Coke bottle explodes because the contents were under an abnormal level of pressure it could prove difficult to verify this claim without the bottle intact.
Typically defective product laws impose a strict liability regime on companies which means that victims do not have to prove that companies were negligent. Instead defective product victims must only prove that the product was unreasonably dangerous or defective and that they were injured as a direct result These elements vary from state to state.
