What is a Manufacturing Defect?
A manufacturing defect takes place when a product departs from its intended design during the manufacturing process, resulting in a product that is unsafe or unfit for use by you or your family. Unlike design defects, which are inherent in the product’s design, manufacturing defects can occur in individual units of a manufactured product, making some versions safe while others are not.
Common Examples of Manufacturing Defects include:
Faulty Electrical Components – Example: A toaster that catches fire due to improper wiring.
Brittle Materials – Example: A chair that breaks easily because it was made from substandard materials.
Contaminated Pharmaceuticals or Contaminated Food – Examples: Medications that are tainted due to poor quality control during production or improper Food Production that can cause issues such as the recent highly publicized Listeria outbreak from luncheon meats.
Winning A Manufacturing Liability Case in Pennsylvania
To successfully prove your manufacturing defect claim we must demonstrate:
- The product was in fact legally defective. This involves showing that the product did not conform to its intended design or specifications.
- The manufacturing defect caused you harm. We are required to show a direct link between the defect in the product and your injuries.
- The product was used correctly. We must show the Court you used the product as intended, or in a way that was foreseeable by the manufacturer.
