What is a Defective Product?

A defective product is one that causes damage or injury to a consumer due to a defect in its design, manufacturing or marketing. A design defect results in a product being unreasonably dangerous due to a faulty design. A manufacturing defect occurs during the production of a product, i.e. the individual item was not properly made, even though the product as a whole is not faulty. Finally a marketing defect results from improper instructions and/or failures to warn of latent dangers.

What is Product Liability Based on?

I only talked to Anna she was super!! I don't see anything you can do to make it better or easier. I feel bad it took me long to pay you. I never thought I would get approved in five months. I loved what you all did for me.
