Manufacturing Defect
Independent watchdog groups as well as federal institutions like the United States Consumer Product Safety Commission work tirelessly to alert consumers and users to manufacturing and design defects. Unfortunately, despite all the beta testing, six sigma quality control practices, and third-party watchdogging that goes on, manufacturing defects still abound and cause thousands of injuries and deaths per year.
A manufacturing defect can be distinguished from a design defect or a “failure to warn” issue. Such a defect arises when a competent product design gets executed poorly. For instance, a manufacturer may leave out a key component when putting together a carburetor. Or a drug supplier might package a new drug in faulty packaging.
Proving that a manufacturing defect caused an injury to a plaintiff and compelling the manufacturer to provide compensation can be a complicated, long-lasting project. The strategies and tactics for pursuing liability will ultimately depend on the specifics of the case and the nature of the injuries. In general, a plaintiff must file a claim before the statue of limitations on action runs out and must be able to prove that the defect in manufacturing directly or indirectly led to the injury in question and that that injury was severe and significant enough to merit legal action. Moreover, just because a plaintiff "wins" a settlement agreement or succeeds at trial doesn't mean that the work's over. Collecting damages can often be a major project in and of itself, in that compelling a manufacturer and/or its insurer to pay out according to schedule can prove difficult.
