These days, most products on the local store shelves have been tested for almost any kind of situation. However, sometimes a product in Union City 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

There are 3 basic categories of product defects in California.

Manufacturing defects are the first. These are defects that come from the actual production and making of the product. For example, if essential screws, which are called for in the design, are not installed in a chair, and the chair breaks when someone sits on it as a result, this is 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.
