- Medical Devices: Problems with pacemakers, implants, or surgical tools can cause significant health complications.
- Children’s Toys: Toys made with toxic materials, small detachable parts, or sharp edges can pose serious safety risks.

Types of Product Liability
There are 3 main categories of product liability claims our defective product attorneys in Oklahoma City handle, each designed to address specific issues with defective products:
Design Defects
These flaws stem from the product’s original design, making it inherently unsafe even if it’s manufactured correctly. For example, a vehicle designed in a way that increases rollover risk or a toy designed with small parts that present a choking hazard.
Manufacturing Defects
These malfunctions occur during the production or assembly process. Even if the design is safe, the product becomes dangerous because it wasn’t made as intended, such as a chair with a misaligned leg or a car with improperly installed brakes.
Marketing Defects (Failure to Warn)
These issues happen when a product lacks proper instructions, warnings, or labeling. A product may be hazardous if users aren’t adequately informed about risks or how to use it safely. For instance, a drug without clear dosage guidelines or a chemical cleaner with no warning about its corrosive properties.
Who Can Be Held Liable for Product Defect Claims?
There are many hands in the manufacturing process. From its initial design to being placed on the shelves, there are many steps where development can go wrong.
Depending on your unique case, any of the following can be held responsible for your claim:
- Designers
- Engineers
- Manufacturers
- Installers
- Assemblers
- Distributors
- Retailers
