What Constitutes a Defective Product?
A defective product is any item that poses a danger to consumers due to design flaws, manufacturing defects, or inadequate warnings or instructions. These defects can manifest in a wide range of products, including but not limited to:
Automobiles with faulty brakes or airbags
Pharmaceuticals with undisclosed side effects
Children’s toys containing harmful substances
Electronics prone to overheating or electrical fires
Household appliances with wiring defects
Your Rights as a Consumer in Texas
In Texas, consumers are protected by various laws and regulations aimed at holding manufacturers, distributors, and retailers accountable for defective products. These include:
Strict Liability: Under Texas law, manufacturers can be held liable for injuries caused by defective products, regardless of fault. This means that consumers do not have to prove negligence on the part of the manufacturer to seek compensation for their injuries.
Breach of Warranty: If a product fails to perform as promised or does not meet the expectations of the consumer, the manufacturer may be in breach of warranty. This entitles the injured party to seek damages for any resulting injuries.
Product Liability Claims: In addition to strict liability and breach of warranty claims, consumers may also pursue product liability claims based on negligence, fraud, or misrepresentation. These claims can help victims recover compensation for medical expenses, lost wages, pain and suffering, and other damages.
