Flawed Product Design

A design defect is a defect that is inherent in the product itself. A design defect is a defect in the design of the product that makes the product unsafe for its intended use. A product with a design defect was manufactured and marketed just as it was intended, but it was designed improperly. In most instances, the manufacturer of the product could have used a safer design that may have helped avoid foreseeable risks. A design defect will be found in every product that was produced according to the design, and the defect is actually present prior to the manufacturing process.

An example of a product with a design defect is a toy made with small magnet pieces that easily come off. Even when used correctly, the small pieces can still pose a serious injury to young children who may take the magnetic pieces and swallow them.
