When you walk into a store these days, you can expect that almost every product on the shelves has been tested and re-tested for safety. However, on rare occurrences, a product in Coldwater is defective. If you or a family member has been injured by a defective product, you may have a Products Liability case.

Product Liability Laws

Defective products are categorized into three different classes in Michigan.

First, manufacturing defects are those defects that stem from the actual manufacture of the product. For instance, if a desk collapses because the manufacturer did not put in three bolts that were required by the design, this would be a manufacturing defect.

The second type is the design defect. This happens when a product is not of sound design, and will be defective even if made to specifications. For instance, if a kitchen knife's specifications call for a metal blade that is very thin and brittle, creating a risk that it might break, causing injury, this is a design defect.
