| I have suffered injury or damage as a result of a defective consumer product. |

| You may have a products liability claim. Products containing inherent defects that cause harm to a consumer of the product, or someone to whom the product was loaned, given, etc., are the subject of products liability suits. |
| |
| Products liability claims can be based on negligence, strict liability, or breach of warranty of fitness. In order to succeed in such a claim, one must prove that the product is defective. |
| |
| There are generally three types of product defects that incur liability in manufacturers and suppliers: design defects, manufacturing defects, and defects in marketing. Design defects are inherent; they exist before the product is manufactured. While the item might serve its purpose well, it can be unreasonably dangerous to use due to a design flaw. On the other hand, manufacturing defects occur during the construction or production of the item. Only a few out of many products of the same type are flawed in this case. Defects in marketing deal with improper instructions and failures to warn consumers of latent dangers in the product. |
