Products are typically defective in either their design or manufacturing. When products have design defects, they are typically put on the market without being tested for safety by the manufacturers. In addition, the product may be defective due to the fact that it has no warnings or inadequate warnings. On the other hand, some products are defective because of a problem in the manufacturing process. This can happen in numerous ways, such as a bolt not being placed properly which results in harm, a foreign substance such as glass or metal finding its way into food products, and faulty electrical devices that can explode causing injury.
It is important that you retain and keep position of the product that you believed harmed you in the case of an injury. Time is of the essence in products liability cases.
