Marketing Defect
Manufacturers are required to provide adequate instructions for the safe and proper use of their product and must warn buyers of dangers associated with that product. If no warning is present, the manufacturer may be liable for injuries caused by the product. Manufacturers are obligated to perform safety tests to determine what warning labels need to be put on a product.
Common marketing defects include:
* Failure to warn
* Improper labeling
* Insufficient instructions
If you or someone you know have been seriously injured by a defective product, contact a personal injury lawyer. If there is no warning label or it is unclear, you may have a product liability case against the manufacturer. Manufacturers must provide adequate warnings for their products.
