Practice point: A party injured as a result of a defective product may seek relief against the product manufacturer or others in the chain of distribution.
Students should note that a product may be defective because of a mistake in the manufacturing process; because of a defective design; or because the manufacturer failed to provide adequate warnings regarding the product's use.
