Understanding Product Defects
A defective product is one that is unreasonably dangerous or fails to perform as intended. These defects can result from poor design, mistakes in manufacturing, or inadequate instructions and warnings.
Three Main Types of Product Defects:
-
Design Defects – The product is inherently dangerous due to its design, even when used as intended.
Example: A space heater that easily tips over and causes fires. -
Manufacturing Defects – An error occurs during the production process, making the product unsafe.
Example: A bicycle with a cracked frame due to a flaw during assembly. -
Marketing Defects (Failure to Warn) – The product lacks proper instructions or safety warnings.
Example: A medication that does not list known side effects.
Understanding Warranty Protections
When a product fails, warranties can offer critical protection. Unfortunately, many companies refuse to honor them—leaving consumers without the support they paid for.
There are two main types of warranties:
-
Express Warranties – These are written or spoken promises about product quality or performance.
Example: “This laptop has a 1-year full replacement warranty.” -
Implied Warranties – These are unspoken, automatic protections under the law, including:
-
Implied Warranty of Merchantability (the product will function as expected)
-
Implied Warranty of Fitness for a Particular Purpose (the product is suitable for a specific use you relied on when purchasing)
-
When businesses deny valid warranty claims, provide incomplete coverage, or mislead customers about terms, they may be violating the Magnuson-Moss Warranty Act and Georgia’s Fair Business Practices Act.
