Types of Defective Products

Premises Liability Attorneys in New York

Under New York defective product law, manufacturers must properly design and thoroughly test their products to ensure they will not cause harm to the user. If a product has the potential to pose a risk to the user, the manufacturer must include proper warning labels and instructions to warn consumers of the hazard and to minimize the risk of injury. A product which causes the user unreasonable bodily harm due to a defect is considered a defective product, and may allow the injured consumer the opportunity to pursue legal recourse against the manufacturer or other entities responsible for the defective product.
