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

Product Liability Laws

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

First, manufacturing defects are those defects that stem from the actual manufacture of the product. For example, 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 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.

First, manufacturing defects are those defects that stem from the actual manufacture of the product. For example, 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.
