Most of the products you see for sale are safe, and have been tested to ensure that this is the case. However, there are certain occurrences in which a product in Amarillo is defective. If you or a loved one has been hurt by such a product, you could have a lawsuit that utilizes the laws of Product Liability.

Laws of Product Liability in Texas

There are 3 basic classes of product defects in Texas.

First, there are manufacturing defects. These are defects that happen when a product is soundly designed, but some error in its manufacturing caused it to be defective. For instance, 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 class of defects are categorized as design defects. These happen when the manufacturer built the item to the precise specifications, but the design was fault. As an example, if a coffee mug is too thin and a hot beverage cracks the mug and cuts you, this would be a design defect.
