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 occurrences, a product in Pittsfield is defective. If you or a family member has been injured by a defective product, you may have a Products Liability case.

Laws Regarding Product Liability in Massachusetts

Defective products are categorized into three different categories in Massachusetts.

The first is identified 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. 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.
