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 occurrences in which a product in Columbia is defective. If you have been hurt by a defective product, then you may have a lawsuit under the laws of Product Liability.

Product Liability Laws

Defective products are classified in 3 basic categories in South Carolina.

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.
