- * Manufacturing or Production Flaws – a claim that some part of the production process created an unsafe defect in the resulting product.
- * Design Defect – a claim that the design of the product is inherently unsafe.
- * Defective Warnings or Instructions – a claim that the product was not properly labeled or had insufficient warnings for the consumer to understand the risk.
