Causes of faulty products
There are usually four main reasons why products may be faulty:
- A manufacturer failing to recall a product they know is faulty.
- Poor design of a product
- Contamination during manufacturing
- Failure to display sufficient warning on a product
Manufacturers can’t escape liability just by putting a term in a contract.
Ensure you keep the faulty product or photographs of the faulty product and any documents relating to your claim, such as packaging, instructions and importantly purchase receipts.
