Kinds of Product Defects

There are a number of different kinds of product defects, including:

• Defects in Marketing – These are mistakes or flaws in how the product is marketed to the public, including inaccurate labeling and deficient instructions or safety notices.
• Defects in Manufacturing – These occur when something goes wrong during the manufacturing phase of production.
• Defect in Design – These happen when the design of the product from the outset is flawed and unsafe, meaning that every product with that particular design will be defective.
