When an individual or a family purchases a product from a retail store, a supermarket, a car dealer, a pharmacy, a wholesaler, or any merchant, there is usually an implicit guarantee that the product or item is not defective and that the product will not cause harm if it is used in the intended manner. Unfortunately, the marketplace is rife with unsafe products and unscrupulous or unwitting merchants.

Types of Product Defects
A product can be defective in one or more of three basic categories: in its design, in the way it was made, or in the instructions for use that are supplied to users of the product. Examples for each of these types of product defects abound — the following represent just a few:
· Design flaw: An SUV (sport utility vehicle) designed with such a high center of gravity that it tips over far too easily
· Manufacturing flaw: Pet food contaminated with pesticide
· Marketing defect: Inadequate warnings on drug labels that don't alert physicians or patients to a drug's risks
