Types of Product Liability Claims

Product liability claims allege that a product suffered from one or more of three types of defects:

• Design defect: In a design defect claim, a product is alleged to have an inherently unsafe design. This means showing that the risks of the product outweighed its usefulness, or that the product could have been given an alternative design that would minimize or eliminate the risks of injury. Design defects affect all products sharing the particular defective design.
• Manufacturing defect: A manufacturing defect arises when some error occurs in the making or assembly of a product that causes it to somehow deviate from the design specifications, such as the use of low-quality materials or a product being assembled improperly or incorrectly. A manufacturing defect can affect one single copy of a product or even entire production runs of a product. 
• Failure-to-instruct/warn: Also known as an advertising or marketing defect, a failure-to-instruct or failure-to-warn claim alleges that a product was marketed or sold with inadequate instructions as to the product’s proper, safe use and/or with inadequate warnings as to the risks of using the product in its intended purposes. 

Product liability claims in New Jersey are brought under the state’s Product Liability Act, which imposes strict liability upon a manufacturer or seller of a defective product. This means that someone injured by a defective product does not need to show that a manufacturer or seller acted negligently or recklessly in causing a defect in a product and putting that defective product into the market. The mere fact that the product was defective and injured a user is sufficient to impose liability. 

A product liability claim may also arise due to a breach of an express or implied warranty when the failure of the product to conform to the warrant results in an accident that injures a user.
