Most of the products on the shelves of stores have been tested and retested for safety. However, there are occurrences where a product in North Bergen 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 New Jersey

Defective products are categorized into three different categories in New Jersey.

First, there are manufacturing defects. These are defects that occur when a product is soundly designed, but some error in its manufacturing caused it to be defective. For example, the design of a chair might call for a specific type of wood to be used in the legs. If another, more brittle type, were used instead, this would be 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 scorched the user, this would be a design defect.
