Defective products can cause injuries to the user and, if this happens, clients are allowed to seek compensations.

Client Protection in California

Clients who purchase goods are protected by law if these items are defective or malfunctioning.

Under the California Business and Professions Code, it is unlawful for companies to advertise and/or sell defective merchandise.

Types of Manufacturing Defects

There are three recognised motives for product defects:

defective design: the product is inherently unsafe or dangerous for general use;

manufacturing defect: the defect occurred while the product was being assembled;

marketing defects: the product was advertised in a manner that didn’t fully describe potential dangers.

Liability for Manufacturing Defects

According to the law, if a product or any of its components are defective, the manufacturer can be held liable under the Consumer Act.

Individuals injured in an accident caused by a defective product can claim a compensation from the manufacturer or from the distributor, according to each case.

Proving Fault for Manufacturing Defects

Product liability claims are based on the fact that the manufacturer was negligent and failed to observe the applicable standards for product safety.

In some cases, the producer can be held responsible under strict liability for selling dangerous goods.

Compensations for Injuries Caused by Defective Products

Monetary compensations are awarded for the injuries caused by using a defective product and for the item’s purchase cost.

A personal injury lawyer can help you negotiate a settlement that will cover all of the expenses associated with the injury.

Limitations on Product Liability Claims
