Manufacturing Defect Injuries
After a Manufacturing Defect Injury: Get the Right Legal Advice on Getting Compensation
Manufacturing defects can be found in nearly any product, from hairdryers to cars to homes.
One example was seen during the building boom of 2005 to 2006, which created a drywall shortage throughout the US. More than 550 million pounds of inexpensive drywall was imported from China to make up for the shortage.
But the product soon proved defective. The imported drywall off-gassed hydrogen sulfide, which produced a rotten-egg odor, corroded nearby metal, and destroyed electronic equipment. Homeowners also suffered physical side effects, including difficulty breathing, bloody noses, a persistent cough, recurring headaches, and asthma attacks.[1]
Cars frequently carry manufacturing defects. In 2011 alone, auto manufacturers recalled 15.5 million cars in the US. The reasons ranged from small manufacturing defects to severe safety issues.[2]
Unfortunately, not every product is recalled before someone is injured by its defects.
