Product Liability Questions
Over our many years of serving clients throughout the province of Ontario, and also assisting with claims in some areas of the United States, our solicitors have noticed a number of similar questions asked by our clients. As a result, we have decided to share some of the most frequently asked questions in order to assist individuals to greater understand product liability.
Some common product liability questions include:

Are there many types of product defects?
There are three different types of product defect cases including design defects, manufacturing defects, and marketing defects. A design defect occurs when there is a flaw in the design of a product which can cause injuries to consumers. A manufacturing defect occurs when the product was manufactured incorrectly, therefore harming the consumer. A marketing defect occurs when the product was incorrectly labelled.
