About Defective Products
Consumers have a right to expect that the products they buy will function safely. However, sometimes ordinary products aren't made properly and unseen defects can lead to serious, sometimes even fatal, injuries. When a consumer is severely injured by a product that malfunctions or lacks adequate warning labels, legal action may be necessary to hold the manufacturer responsible and recover financial compensation for the victim.
Causes of Defective Products
Defective products occur across a variety of categories, but there are three main types of defects that the court uses to evaluate whether a manufacturer or distributor can be held liable for a consumer's injuries.
- Design defects - these are defects inherent in the design of the product.
- Manufacturing defects - these are defects that occur during the manufacturing phase, such as during assembly or packaging.
- Advertising defects / Failure to warn - the marketing materials or labeling that accompanies the product lacks important information consumers need to operate the product safely, such as warnings about potential side effects.
Regardless of how the defect occurs, product injuries can cause significant pain, suffering, loss, and medical expenses for victims and their families. The Florida product liability attorneys at Gordon & Doner are currently accepting clients in a number of defective product cases, including:
