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

Laws of Product Liability in New Mexico

There are three types of defects that the laws of Product Liability cover in New Mexico.

The first is identified as "manufacturing defects." These defects exist when a product is of sound design, but was assembled or built improperly. For example, the design of an electric saw might include an emergency shutoff switch. If this switch was installed improperly, and therefore didn't work, this would be an example of a manufacturing defect.

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