A single defective product claim should alert an entire group of shoppers. It indicates appearance in the marketplace of a defective product. Four different theories can be used to explain the emergence of details on that same unreliable product.
If a personal injury lawyer in Cornwall wants to submit a defective product claim, he or she should indicate which of the four available theories accounts for what has happened. Shoppers can stand alert for evidence of poor-quality items, if they know about the four separate theories. Therefore, each theory has been summarized below
Breach of stated warranty
This theory concerns the discovery that a defect in the product violated the warranty. Consequently, it has really voided that same warranty. Proof of the warranty’s existence can be found in various statements, such as those on the label or the packaging. It might also be found in a list of instructions or in any form of advertising. Hence, smart shoppers should take the time to read such documents.
Breach of implied warranty
Manufacturers often use an implied warranty to sell a product. In addition, some warranties get imposed on manufacturers. For instance, a company must guarantee that the product it sells is well-suited for filling its intended purpose. Hence, its product is expected to live up to its implied warranty.
There is another way that companies must honor implied warranties. If a company has claimed that its product appears perfectly suited for aiding fulfillment of a specific purpose, then it needs to backup that claim. If it cannot, it has broken its promise to customers and has breached its implied warranty.
Careless actions on the part of the manufacturer
Every manufacturer is expected to use a reasonable amount of care while producing a given item. That is why a careful manufacturer will assign certain employees the job of maintaining quality control. If a manufacturer fails to use the precautions that should have been used within a given manufacturing facility, that same businessperson can be held liable for a defective product.
Deceitful actions on the part of the manufacturer
Whenever evidence of such deceit comes to light, the members of the media get busy. They love to keep customers in-the-know about such deceitful actions. So, what makes them so terrible that the media feels obligated to alert shoppers to the presence of items that carry the effects of such actions?
Sometimes a member of the quality control department does notice a defect. Hopefully, he or she chooses to report it. Still the manufacturer may ignore that report and conceal the existence of that same defect. When that happens the deceptive manufacturing facility gets held liable for the poor-quality item that a money-hungry manufacturer has allowed to enter the marketplace.
