These days, most products on the local store shelves have been tested for almost any kind of situation. However, sometimes a product in Santa Rosa is defective. If you or a loved one has been hurt by such a product, you could have a lawsuit that uses the laws of Product Liability.

The Law of Product Liability in California

Three different kinds of defects are classified in the laws of Product Liability in California.

The first is identified as "manufacturing defects." These defects exist when a product is of sound design, but was assembled or built improperly. For example, the design of an electric saw might include an emergency shutoff switch. If this switch was installed improperly, and therefore didn't work, this would be an example of a manufacturing defect.

The second type are design defects. These defects exist when they are inherent in a product's design, and the product cannot be safely manufactured, even if made to specifications. For example, if an electric saw lacks an emergency shutoff switch, this would be a design defect.

Life in Santa Rosa

Santa Rosa, California is a city in Sonoma County, in the far northern portion of the San Francisco Bay Area. With a population of about 162,000 people, it is the fifth-largest city in the Bay Area.

Santa Rosa's first known permanent settlement came in the 1830s, and it began to grow after California achieved statehood. In 1867, Sonoma County officially incorporated it as a city. The 1906 San Francisco Earthquake essentially destroyed the downtown area of Santa Rosa. In addition to destroying much of San Francisco, that earthquake heavily damaged almost every other city in the Bay Area.

Modernly, Santa Rosa is known for the natural beauty just outside the city, in the form of rolling hills and miles of undisturbed wilderness. Santa Rosa, and the rest of Sonoma County is internationally renowned as a wine-making region, with scores of vineyards and wineries nearby.
