Laws Regarding Product Liability in Michigan

Defective products are classified in 3 basic categories in Michigan.

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.

Life in Royal Oak

Royal Oak is a city in Oakland County, Michigan. It has a population of about 60,000 individuals, and is considered a suburb of Detroit.

Royal Oak was incorporated as a village in 1891, but its human history dates back thousands of years - the area now known as Royal Oak was inhabited by indigenous peoples millennia before the arrival of European settlers. The name of Royal Oak dates back to 1819, when an early settler to the region saw an oak tree which reminded him of the "Royal Oak" - an oak tree in which King Charles II hid to evade enemy forces during a battle in 1651.

The downtown area of Royal Oak features a variety of entertainment options, including bars, restaurants, music venues, comedy clubs,and nightclubs. Royal Oak appears to have avoided the worst of the economic hardship that the Detroit area has experienced over the past few decades, with only 4.3% of the population living below the poverty line - much lower than the national average. It also has a verylow rate of violent crime, and an average rate of property crime, which is much better than many of its neighbors.
