What Are Defective Products in Indiana?
The products in most product liability cases are often items we use both in our everyday lives and at work. Products liability law breaks down liability into three areas.
1. Design Defects
A design defect is when a product is designed in a way that a flaw can cause injury to you or a bystander, or if it fails to perform in a way a reasonable consumer would expect it to perform.
2. Manufacturing Defects
If a product is manufactured in a way that it fails to meet the design specifications it can be considered defective. If the product injures a consumer, the manufacturer can be held liable for those injuries and be responsible to to provide compensation.
3. Failure to Warn
Sometimes, products can be dangerous even when designed and operated properly. For example, heavy machinery or industrial tools. The manufacturer still has a responsibility to properly warn the consumer of the dangers of simply using their product.
Here is a list of some common types of products that might be included in a product liability claim if they’re defective. Cases involving…
Food products, Food Poisoning, Medical devices, Motor vehicles such as cars, trucks, and motorcycles, Car accessories, Airbags, Seat belts, Child car seats, Tires, E-cigarettes, Tobacco products, Tools and machinery, Weapons and firearms, Toys and recreational equipment, Clothing, Pesticides, Mold, Asbestos, and similar, Toxic Substances, Child Safety Seats, Cribs, and Other Children’s Items, Medications, Household Appliances among others.
This is not a comprehensive list but will give you an idea of the wide range of safe products that companies are responsible for making and liable if they are not safe.
Indianapolis Product Liability Lawyers
When you purchase a product, you expect it to be safe. You assume the manufacturer has tested the product to be sure it functions as intended and is safe for use. At the very least, you expect the product manufacturer to warn you of any risks of using their product so you can take the proper precautions. That’s not always the case and a dangerous product can cost you dearly.
When you purchase and use a product, you have the right to be safe. In Indiana, there are laws in place to help ensure your safety. When a manufacturer or seller violates those laws, your safety is put at risk.
