Causes of Manufacturing Defects

As previously stated, manufacturing defects tend to be more isolated than other types of product liability problems. This is because the error occurs during the manufacturing process rather than during the design or marketing stages.

There may be several reasons that one item in a particular product line is defective and the others are not. For instance, the materials used in one production batch may not have been up to the standard of the materials used in the others. This is especially true of faulty metal products.

The companies that market the product have an obligation to test each of their products before they go on sale. If a defective product is allowed onto the market and someone is harmed as a result, the company may be liable under the law.
