Categories of Product Defects

It takes a lot of time and work to create new, efficient, and successful products, and even more time and effort to market them to consumers. Over time, the creation and manufacturing of products involves many different people. Though we want to be able to always trust workers to make quality products, sometimes design, manufacturing, and marketing errors negatively affect consumer goods, causing malfunction, serious injury, or even death.

If you have been injured because of a defective product, you may be entitled to financial compensation for your injuries and recovery costs. Contact an experienced Harrisburg product defect attorney of Lowenthal & Abrams, P.C., today at 610-667-7511 to discuss your legal options.

Types of Product Defects

There are three main categories of product defects, those of design, manufacturing, and marketing:

• Design Defects: The product’s defects are created early on because of a flaw in its original design

• Manufacturing Defects: Even if the original design of a product is not flawed, a problem in construction or manufacturing makes the product defective

• Marketing Defects: Marketing defects are associated most often with incorrect labeling on products, causing consumer confusion and misunderstanding

All product defects can pose serious dangers to your health if not addressed in a timely manner.
