Product Defect Injury Claims

Consumers trust that the products they use every day are safe. Unfortunately, defective and dangerous products can cause serious injuries or even death. When manufacturers, distributors, or retailers put unsafe products into the marketplace, they must be held accountable. At TMG Injury Law, our experienced personal injury attorneys represent individuals injured by defective products and fight for the compensation they deserve.

What Is a Product Defect?

A product defect occurs when a product is unreasonably dangerous due to a flaw in its design, manufacturing, or marketing. Under product liability law, injured consumers may pursue claims against one or more parties in the product’s supply chain.

Types of Product Defects

Product defect claims generally fall into three categories:

1. Design Defects
The product is inherently unsafe due to poor or dangerous design, even when manufactured correctly.

2. Manufacturing Defects
An error occurs during production or assembly, making the product dangerous despite an otherwise safe design.

3. Marketing Defects (Failure to Warn)
The manufacturer fails to provide proper instructions, warnings, or safety labels about known risks.

Defective product claims may involve:

Defective vehicle parts (airbags, brakes, tires)
Dangerous medical devices or implants
Defective prescription or over-the-counter drugs
