Product Liability Information

Manufacturers have an obligation to consumers to ensure that their products are safe when used for their intended purposes and that any potential hazards associated with their use are made clear. Design flaws or manufacturing defects can cause serious injury and even wrongful death. Though most manufacturers are responsible and have exhaustive quality control measures in place to ensure product safety, others employ quality control methods that are negligently lax to non-existent.

There are three basic types of defects that can serve as the basis of a product liability claim:

Defective Design – A defective design can lead to a defect being repeated throughout an entire product line. For instance, due to their design, some toys may include small pieces that present choking hazards for small children, or electrical products and appliances may overheat and catch fire during normal use. Often, design defects result in product recalls.

Defective Manufacturing – Sometimes manufacturers fail to institute proper quality control or use poor quality materials rendering a product defective and potentially dangerous. Tennessee law holds manufacturers responsible for injuries caused by products that are unreasonably unsafe for normal or anticipatable use.

Defective Marketing – If a product is known to be dangerous, it must come with warnings or instructions that explain how to use the product properly and safely. Absent or insufficient warnings put consumers at great risk.
