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

Laws of Product Liability in Ohio

Defective products are categorized into three different categories in Ohio.

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 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.
