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 times, a product in Leominster is defective. If you or a family member has been hurt by a defective product, you may have a Products Liability case.

Laws Regarding Product Liability in Massachusetts

Defective products are classified into three different categories in Massachusetts.

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 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.
