Today's Terms
Design Defect
Definition:
If the actual design of a product makes it unreasonably dangerous, then every product with that design is defective. For example, the poor design of the Ford Pinto is what made it defective, and because the design was common to all Pintos, they were all defective in design.
Product Safety Recalls
Definition:
Sometimes sale of the item is banned. A manufacturer may establish a recall program that asks consumers to return the defective item for replacement or repair.
Negligence
Definition:
Negligence occurs when someone breaches some sort of duty to another person, causing some kind of injury to that person.
