Most of the products on the shelves of stores have been tested and retested for safety. However, there are occasions where a product in Las Vegas is defective. If you or a family member has been harmed by a defective product, you may have a Products Liability case.

Laws of Product Liability in New Mexico

There are three forms of defects that the laws of Product Liability encompass in New Mexico.

First, there are manufacturing defects. These are defects that happen when a product is soundly designed, but some error in its manufacturing caused it to be defective. For instance, the design of a chair might call for a certain 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 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.
