Laws Regarding Product Liability in Michigan

Defective products are classified in 3 basic categories in Michigan.

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.

Second, design defects are defects that are present because the design is faulty. For instance, if a coffee mug melts any time hot coffee is put in because the design called for the faulty material, this would be a design defect.
