Product Liability - Defective Products
Product defects are generally put into three categories: design defects, manufacturing defects and marketing defects. Design defects are, in a manner of speaking, intended. This type of defect is inherent in the design of the product. A design defect is found in every individual product produced. Manufacturing defects, unlike design defects, are not intended parts of the product. A manufacturing defect is, in essence, a mistake in the manufacturing process. Under product liability law, even if the manufacturer was extremely careful in manufacturing the product, it will still be held responsible for any manufacturing defect which occurs. It does not matter that all possible care was taken in the preparation and marketing of the product. Marketing defects are defects in the manner in which a product is sold. This type of defect can include inadequate warnings and/or instructions.
Texas law holds manufacturers, sellers and distributors responsible for products that pose a danger to users or consumers as a result of design and/or manufacturing defects. If a product has injured you, you may be able to recover for your injuries under product liability or negligence law. An attorney with experience in handling products liability and negligence cases can analyze the facts surrounding your injury and determine whether the product that injured you was defectively designed, defectively manufactured or negligently marketed.
