When we buy a product, we expect it will not cause us harm. We trust that the manufacturer has thoroughly tested the product. Using it in the way it was intended to be used, we should not be maimed, burned, paralyzed, poisoned, or made sick.

Unfortunately, this implicit contract between buyer and seller is often violated. And compensation can be demanded for injuries that are sustained this way. These are called product liability claims, or defective product suits.
Liability claims usually fall into one of these categories:
- Design defects. The defect was built into the product or service.
- Manufacturing defects – The defect developed while the product was being manufactured.
- Failure to warn. The label or instructions for a product inadequately warned buyers of the product's dangers.
