Manufacturing Defect | Definition

A product contains a manufacturing defect when it fails to match the quality of most like products; it is readily identifiable because it differs from the manufacturer’s intended result.

Manufacturing Defect | Strict Liability

A manufacturer (distributor, retailer, etc.) may be held strictly liable if a defect in a product that they place into the “stream of commerce” causes injury or death.

Manufacturing Defect | Focus and Elements

A manufacturing defect focuses on whether the particular product involved in the injury-producing incident was manufactured in conformity with the manufacturer’s design. For product liability to attach the alleged defective product must have been used as intended (or in a reasonably foreseeable manner).

Elements: To prove a claim of manufacturing defect causing personal injuries, the injured victim must establish all of the following:

The defendant manufactured (distributed, sold, etc.) the consumer product;
The product contained a defect when it left the defendant’s possession;
The defective product harmed (or killed) the plaintiff; and
The product’s defect was a substantial factor in causing the plaintiff’s harm (or death).

Manufacturing Defect | Burden of Proof

The plaintiff has the initial burden of producing evidence that they were injured while the product was being used as intended (or in a reasonably foreseeable way). In many cases it may be unclear whether the product suffers from a manufacturing or a design defect. Under each theory of liability, circumstantial evidence may prove that a product was defective when sold.

Example Scenario 1: Bill buys a brand new car in San Diego. He drives it for less than 2800 miles before the drive shaft falls and he is horrendously injured in a crash. Bill and his family may pursue a manufacturing and or design defect case here against the auto manufacturer and retailer.
