Dangerous products enter our homes each day.
In some cases, manufacturers know this fact but choose not to warn consumers.
In other cases, manufacturers are unaware of the flaws, which occur either in the design or the manufacturing process.
Regardless of what causes a product to be dangerous, individuals who injure themselves using a product that falls under one of these categories may be entitled to financial compensation from the product's manufacturer on the grounds of product liability.
Product liability refers to a manufacturer's responsibility for injuries that occur when individuals use their faulty products.
There are three main types of product liability cases:

• Design defects - these cases refer to an inherent flaw in the design of a product; as such, the entire product line is usually faulty, meaning that the problem is widespread and may require the manufacturer to issue a recall
• Manufacturing defects - these cases refer to flaws that occur during the manufacture of a select number of products; these problems are usually isolated, and the affected products are usually referred to as lemons
• Marketing defects - these cases refer to false advertising or a lack of warning labels; typically, manufacturers market these products as being safe even though they know that they are not

Individuals affected by any of these defects may choose to file legal action against the products' manufacturers or designers in order to gain financial compensation for their injuries.
Those who seek financial compensation are advised to first seek legal counsel, as filing any personal injury lawsuit requires long consideration and considerable legal knowledge.
