What Constitutes a Defective Product Under Texas Product Liability Law?
In Texas, a product is considered defective if it poses an unreasonable risk of harm when used as intended or in a reasonably foreseeable manner. There are three main types of defects recognized under Texas law, which our defective product attorney in Rio Grand Valley is well-versed with.
- Design Defects: These defects occur when a flaw is inherent in the design of the product itself, making it unreasonably dangerous for its intended use.
- Manufacturing Defects: These defects occur during the manufacturing process and result in a product that differs from its intended design, making it dangerous for consumers to use.
- Marketing Defects (Failure to Warn): A product can also be considered defective if the manufacturer or seller fails to warn consumers about known risks with its use or fails to provide adequate instructions for safe use.
