What Is a Defective Design of a Product Claim?

In an injury or death resulting from the defective design of a product, the claim is that the product functioned as it was designed but the design was negligent. That is a reasonable manufacturer should have known that the design of the product was defective and that it was foreseeable that the design could cause injury or death to the user of the product. Once a hazard, which is a condition that may cause injury or death, is identified in a product, the design engineer must follow an accepted design priority recognized by all design engineers in reducing the possibility of the dangerous condition of the product causing injury or death.

The dangerous condition must be designed out of the product if such can be done without destroying the utility of the product. If this can’t be done then:

The dangerous condition of the product must be guarded against. If the dangerous condition of the product can’t be guarded against then:

A warning must be given that the dangerous condition of the product can cause injury or death

What Is a Manufacturing Flaw Claim?

In a manufacturing defect case, the claim is that the injury or death was caused by a flaw in the manufacturing of the defective product and that the product was not manufactured properly which resulted in a dangerous condition that made the product defective and dangerous and caused injury or death.

When Can I Sue a Manufacturer’s for Failure to Warn?

The manufacturer of a product, which is reasonably certain to be dangerous if used in a way which is foreseeable, is under a duty to give adequate warning of any danger known to him or which in the use of reasonable care, he should have known and which the user of the product would have not ordinarily discovered.
