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 times in which a product in Providence is defective. If you have been harmed by a defective product, then you may have a lawsuit under the laws of Product Liability.

Product Liability Laws

Defective products are classified into three different categories in Rhode Island.

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 particular type of wood to be used in the legs. If another, more brittle type, were used instead, this would be a manufacturing defect.

Second, design defects are defects that are present because the design is faulty. For instance, if a coffee mug melts any time hot coffee is put in because the design called for the faulty material, this would be a design defect.
