What is a defective product?
- A product is defective if it is not as safe as any reasonable person would expect
- This does not just mean physical problems with it causing injury, but also covers
any damage caused due to inaccurate instructions, or by the suitability of the product
for the purpose it is advertised
A product is defined as any goods, foods, component parts (even blood has been classed
as a product). The definition is so wide, it covers almost anything we use. Recent
defective product compensation cases include:
- child seats
- trilucent breast implants
- hair removal treatment
- sofas
- cosmetics
- medications and drugs
Who can claim compensation?
- Anyone injured by a defective product
- You do not need to have purchased the item yourself, if you have:
- received an injury by something given to you, or
- by somebody else using a it,
you can make a claim. For example, you could claim compensation if you became injured
by a defective tyre from a passing car.
Who can I make a defective product claim against?
