Product Liability in Kent: Holding Manufacturers Accountable for Defective Products

When you buy a product, you trust that it will function as intended and not cause harm. Unfortunately, that’s not always the case. Defective products can lead to serious injuries or even death. When this happens, manufacturers, retailers, and other responsible parties can be held liable for the harm their products cause. If you or a loved one has been injured by a faulty product, you need a skilled Kent product liability lawyer who will fight for your rights.

Types of Product Defects

Product defects can take many forms, and it is important to identify the specific cause of the injury to build a strong case. In general, product liability cases are categorized into three main types of defects:

Design Defects

Design defects are inherent flaws in the design of a product that make it dangerous, even when used as intended. These defects affect all units of the product, regardless of the manufacturing process. For example, a chair with only three legs could be designed in such a way that it is prone to tipping over, increasing the risk of injury for anyone who uses it.

Manufacturing Defects

Manufacturing defects occur when a product is made incorrectly during the production process, even though the design may have been safe. This can make an otherwise safe product dangerous. An example of a manufacturing defect would be a chair that is designed correctly, but one of its legs is not properly fastened during production, causing the chair to be unstable and prone to collapsing.

Marketing Defects

Marketing defects, also known as “failure to warn” cases, arise when a product is sold without adequate safety instructions, warnings, or labels. These defects often apply to products where the dangers are not immediately obvious to consumers. This category is especially common with pharmaceuticals or medical devices, where there may be unknown side effects or risks that need to be clearly communicated to the user.

Why You Need an Experienced Product Liability Lawyer

Product liability cases can be complex, and manufacturers often have powerful legal teams to defend against claims. It’s important to have an experienced attorney on your side who can investigate the incident thoroughly and hold the responsible parties accountable.
