These days, most products on the local store shelves have been tested for almost any kind of situation. However, sometimes a product in San Mateo is defective. If you or a loved one has been harmed 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 recognized 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 class of defects are classified as design defects. These occur when the manufacturer built the item to the exact specifications, but the design was fault. As an example, if a coffee mug is too thin and a hot beverage cracks the mug and cuts you, this would be a design defect.
