Laws of Product Liability in California
Defective products are classified in 3 basic categories in California.
The first type are manufacturing defects. These are defects that occur when a product was assembled or made improperly. For example, if a table has a sound design, but during assembly two key bolts were not installed, this would be a manufacturing defect.
The second type is the design defect. This occurs when a product is not of sound design, and will be defective even if made to specifications. For example, if a kitchen knife's specifications call for a metal blade that is extremely thin and brittle, creating a risk that it might break, causing injury, this is a design defect.
