Most of the products you see for sale are safe, and have been tested to ensure that this is the case. However, there are some occasions in which a product in Oregon City is defective. When a defective product causes an injury, this brings up the field of law called Product Liability.

Product Liability Laws in Oregon

There are 3 basic categories of product defects in Oregon.

Manufacturing defects are the first. These are defects that come from the actual production and making of the product. For example, if essential screws, which are called for in the design, are not installed in a chair, and the chair breaks when someone sits on it as a result, this is 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.

Life in Oregon City

Oregon City, Oregon is the county seat of Clackamas County. It has a population of about 32,000. It has the distinction of being the first U.S. city west of the Rocky Mountains to be incorporated. It was incorporated in 1844.

Oregon City played a role in the early development of the Western U.S., particularly the Oregon Territory. It was a popular destination for settlers who wanted to make land claims, after traveling the Oregon Trail, and surviving the likely bouts of dysentery, as well as the almost-inevitable loss of oxen during ill-advised attempts to ford rivers.

More recently, Oregon City, Oregon's economy was dominated by the lumber industry. However, in the 1980s, the lumber industry in the Pacific Northwest began to decline.
