Athens Dangerous or Defective Product Attorneys
What Makes A Product Defective?
Product defects are typically divided into three categories: design defects, manufacturing defects, and failure to provide adequate warnings.
- Design defects: These occur when the actual design for the product contains a flaw that makes the product dangerous. For example, If a designer develops a toy meant for very young children and babies, but the toy has small parts that present a choking hazard, then the defect is in the design.
- Manufacturing defects: A manufacturing defect occurs when a product that is designed properly is built in such a way that makes it dangerous. For example, if a company developed a sunscreen that was perfectly effective and safe, but a manufacturer failed to include an active ingredient when mixing the sunscreen, making the product ineffective when used in the sun, the result would be a manufacturing defect.
- Warnings: A failure to warn can also result in a dangerous product. This is the case when a product is designed and manufactured properly, but where a person could foreseeably use the product in such a way as to make it dangerous. An example would be a cleaning product that could cause injuries if it makes contact with someone’s skin. If the product did not adequately warn of the risk, the company could be found liable for the resulting injuries.
Proving Liability
Standing Out from the Rest
To prove liability in a product liability case, one must be able to demonstrate:
- That the product was defective at the time it left the manufacturer
- That the product was used as intended
- That the defect directly caused harm
- That the plaintiff can be compensated
In Georgia, a person who is injured by a product can file a suit under strict liability, or under the theory of negligence. Strict liability claims do not require that the defendant was negligent.
