When a product is designed safely but something goes wrong on the factory floor, the result is a manufacturing defect — a flaw that occurs during the production or assembly process rather than in the original design. Even a single mistake on an assembly line, such as a contaminated batch of medication, a missing weld, a faulty wiring connection, or a skipped quality-control step, can turn an otherwise safe product into a serious hazard. If you or a loved one was injured by a product that did not match its intended design, our attorneys can help you pursue the manufacturer, assembler, or distributor responsible.
Unlike design defect cases, which focus on an entire product line, manufacturing defect claims typically focus on how a specific unit differed from the manufacturer’s own specifications and from other units that came off the same line. This often requires obtaining the product itself, reviewing manufacturing and quality-control records, and working with engineering experts who can identify exactly where the production process broke down.
