Protecting Your Reputation In The Face Of Defective Products Claims
The process of designing, manufacturing and selling a product is complex and takes significant time, money and effort. When a consumer claims that your product is defective and has caused them harm, it can damage your reputation and hurt your financial outlook.

Understanding Defective Products Claims
In defective products claims, consumers must show that they used your product as intended, that your product caused their injury and that the product was defective. If a consumer wins their case, you may have to pay them damages and pull your product from the market.

- Warranty defect
- Design defect

- Strict liability
- Negligence
