Las Vegas Product Defect Attorney
Product Defects Attorney Las Vegas Nevada
It is estimated that around 15% of all products sold in the United States are defective in
some way. This means that every year, millions of Americans purchase defective
products that are not up to par.
There are three types of product liability claims: design defect, manufacturing defect, and failure to warn. For example, if a product has a design defect, it may not work properly and could cause an injury. If a product has a manufacturing defect, it may be dangerous to use and could cause an injury. The potential for injury can result from a company’s failure to properly inform customers about the safety of their product; this could be due to an advertising error. By hiring a personal injury lawyer that specializes in product liability, they will be able to open your claim under the correct category of product liability.
Injuries caused by product defects can range from minor to substantial bodily harm, and in some cases, they can even be fatal. As consumers, we use products everyday and sometimes accidents happen. But, sometimes those accidents are not caused by operator error and in fact are a result of a defective product. The Law Office of Meesha Moulton is an experienced personal injury attorney law firm that is here to help with your product liability claim.

Types of Product Liability Defects:
Design defects
When a product is not safe for use, not durable, or does not function as it was originally
designed. Typically the company or manufacturer does not know these exist, it is only through
the consumer discovering a hidden defect that they become alerted.
Unfortunately these defects are discovered after the product has reached the consumer and injuries have occurred. An example of a design defect case, would be a children car seat that was only tested in optimal weather conditions. But, when it reaches a consumer in a cold weather state, the latches might not line up properly resulting in a car seat that is not secure.

Manufacturing defects
When an error is made during the manufacturing process that causes the product to become
defective or inherently dangerous. With manufacturing defects, the intended design was good
but during the manufacturing process an error occurred. This error could have been a
machining problem due to being outside of intended tolerances.
Another possible cause of a product defect could be operator error during the assembly process. The could be an assembly line worker not tightening bolts to the proper torque specifications. Manufacturing defects are usually caught right away but sometimes they make it to the public. This is where you see recalls from manufacturers.

Marketing defects
When a company provides false or misleading information about a product. Common examples
of marketing defects:
- Incorrect or improper user instructions
- False claims
- Failure to warn consumers of potential risks associated with the product
- Any form of marketing that encourage improper use that the product was not designed for
- Misleading warning labels
Hidden defects
When products contain toxic ingredients. Manufactures, distributors, wholesalers, and retailers
have the responsibility to warn consumers of any potential hidden defects or hazardous material
that could cause harm without using proper precautions.
