Compensation Awards in Mississippi

Most of the products on the shelves of stores have been tested and retested for safety. However, there are occasions where a product in Forest is defective. When a defective product causes an injury, this brings up the sphere of law called Product Liability.

The Law of Product Liability in Mississippi

Defective products are grouped into three different classes in Mississippi.

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 are design defects. These defects exist when they are ingrained in a product's design, and the product cannot be safely manufactured, even if made to specifications. For instance, if an electric saw lacks an emergency shutoff switch, this would be a design defect.
