Types of Product Liability Cases

• Manufacturing Defects are caused by an error during the production of a product. In Florida, manufacturers of products are held “strictly liable” for manufacturing defects, but it’s necessary to prove that the defect was present when the product left the factory where it was produced.
• Design Defects are flaws in the way the product was conceived that cause it to be hazardous when used properly. Design defects will affect every copy of a product because the problem is with the conception of the product itself. That’s why products with design defectives are sometimes recalled. It’s necessary to prove that the product’s design was unreasonably dangerous, that the danger could be anticipated, and that a better design could have been used.
• Failure to Warn of the dangers posed by using a product can be the basis of a claim. Labels must properly inform consumers of existing hazards, the severity of the risk, the effects of the hazard, and how to use the product safely. The prominence of a warning must scale with the severity of the hazard. For example, large and red for the danger of death, medium sized and orange for a potential serious injury, and smaller and yellow for only a slight chance of injury.
