What are the Different Forms of Texas Product Liability?
Texas Defective Products
Product liability comes in one of three forms: manufacturing defects, design defects, and products that have “inadequate warnings.” Manufacturing defects, as the name implies, involve instances in which an injury was caused as a result of a defect in the manufacturing of the product. One example of a manufacturing defect includes a pair of roller blades made with loose wheels that when used became separated from the skate, causing the user to fall.
The second type of Texas product liability claim is a design defect. Design defects are cases in which injury is caused to the user due to the poor design of the product. This type of defect is inherent in the product and exists even before the product is manufactured. This can occur even in instances when there is no defect in the actual product itself. An example of this type of product defect could be a tool that was made without any adequate safety or protection devices, and as a result, the user is harmed while using the tool.
Finally, the last type of Texas product liability is a product with a “failure to warn.” This refers to a product that was sold with little or no proper warnings, such as a drug being sold without a warning of potential side effects. For a warning to be effective it must be thorough and conspicuous, and it must warn the consumer of the degree of risk involved in failing to follow the product’s warning instructions. An appropriate warning can make some potentially harmful products into reasonably safe ones.
