When you walk into a store these days, you can expect that almost every item on the shelves has been tested and re-tested for safety. However, on rare occasions, a product in Park Ridge is defective. When a defective product causes an injury, this brings up the scope of law called Product Liability.

Product Liability Laws in Illinois

There are 3 basic categories of product defects in Illinois.

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.
