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 Peabody 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.

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 type are design defects. Design defects are found when the plans off of which the products are built are faulty themselves. If, for example, a thermos called for too thin of a material to be used, and hot liquids spilled out and seared the user, this would be a design defect.
