From the supplier: Other similar incidents (OSI) evidence is the most powerful way a plaintiff’s attorney can persuade a jury that an automobile is defective. This is because it provides direct evidence of a car’s safety defects and provides the basis for a punitive damages argument. As proof of the key issue of foreseeability, the plaintiff must prove that the manufacturer knew or should have known of the threatened danger of injury and still did not take steps to protects against it.Sources of OSI evidence, common defensive tactics, and keys to the admissibility of such evidence are listed.

Types of Product Defects

Defect Lawyers — Tue, 13 Sep 2011 13:25:59 +0000

When making a claim for strict liability in a product liability case, it is necessary to prove that the product was defective by proving that it was “unreasonably dangerous for its intended use” as a result of a defect or defects. A product may be inherently dangerous but also be valuable or helpful, and this “utility” is such that the danger is one which would not be considered “unreasonable”.

For instance, gasoline could be considered a dangerous product, but its utility far outweighs any danger posed by it. If used in accordance with in its intended purpose, gasoline is not considered dangerous. If there were an alternative, less dangerous, and no more costly fuel available, the law would likely permit a product liability action to prove that gasoline is an unreasonably dangerous product, and therefore, defective. Along those same lines, a knife could be considered a dangerous product, but the law wouldn’t consider it “unreasonably” dangerous unless it were manufactured in a way which made it a hazard under ordinary usage.

There are certain types of products which may be may be considered unavoidably unsafe, such as medical drugs. There are many drugs used in the treatment of serious and fatal diseases which themselves may cause serious injury and even death. Although these products may be clearly “dangerous,” they may not be considered “unreasonably dangerous” as long as proper information and warnings are given to users.

In general, there are three types of defects which could render a product unreasonably dangerous:

Manufacturing defect — Error in product manufacture or assembly Design defect — Faulty product design Manufacturer or seller’s failure to warn of danger associated with use of the product

]]>

Manufacturing defects are defects that typically occur in a low number of units of a given product, since the defects occur during the manufacturing process of a product. There are many potential problems which can occur during production and assembly of complex products — a bolt may not be adequately tightened, a screw may be missing, wires may be crossed or pieces may be incorrectly soldered. As a result, the product comes off the assembly line in defective condition.

Here is an example: A transistor is improperly installed into a toaster, causing the unit to smoke and eventually burn up. The manufacturing defect poses a risk of electrical shock, as well as a fire hazard. If it causes a shock or a fire in your home, the manufacturer will be liable for injury and damages which result.

Design defects are inherent flaws in the design of a product. This means that even if a product is assembled and produced according to its exact specifications, it will always come out of the factory in dangerous condition. An automobile that will explode upon impact would be considered to have a design defect.

Here is an example: A ladder is constructed of lightweight aluminum, which can bend, or cause the ladder to tip with little force. Even if every such ladder is assembled correctly, it will still create a dangerous situation for users of the ladders. Such a ladder is considered to have a design defect, and may need to be redesigned before it is considered a safe product.

If a product is packaged incorrectly, this would be also be considered a design defect. For example, if an insect poison is sold in a bottle that is prone to leaking, or requires a user’s hands to come in contact with the poison, the manufacturer could be liable for injuries which result from the defective design. Much of today’s product liability litigation consists of design defect cases, and this field is broad enough to cover such claims as asbestos litigation, flammable fabric litigation, dangerous power tool or appliance litigation, vaccine and other drug litigation, defective medical implant litigation (including breast implants), and any other area in which a product’s design makes it unreasonably dangerous for its intended use.

The manufacturer must adequately warn consumers of the potential dangers, and the alert must be explicit and written in language that is easily comprehensible to the average person. Failure to adequately provide information about the use, handling, dangers, and other effects of a product is a common basis for product liability lawsuits. Not having clear instructions for usage may render an otherwise safe product as an unreasonably dangerous product.

Inadequate warnings generally are those which fail to prevent the improper use or assembly of a product. Product manufacturers have a responsibility to provide consumers with clear and complete instructions to ensure the safe use of a product. This is particularly important where the product is “intrinsically dangerous”, i.e., of such a character to be harmful in its ordinary use absent proper caution (chemicals, drugs, machinery, etc.).
