Nobody expects that they will suffer serious injuries just from using a product.

When a person or company sets out to design a new product, they should create a design that accomplishes their purpose with as little risk of harm as possible. If a product has a design that is inherently defective, even the safest manufacturing and production cannot make it safe. Every product manufactured while using the faulty design would have the same problems.
A determined local attorney from Cypress could use their experience and skills to prove the product’s design was faulty. The legal team could work with industry experts to prove there was a safer alternative that would have served the same purpose.
When mistakes occur during the production of a product, that product can have a manufacturing defect. These errors can occur when a company tries to keep their price down and profits high. For instance, a manufacturing defect can happen when a manufacturer swaps out a high end material for a cheaper material.
Manufacturing defects can also happen when a company does not have quality controls to check for errors in production, such as to catch when a factory worker leaves out a key component or assembles something incorrectly. A skilled legal team could carefully review the manufacturing processes to determine what happened.

Consumers need to have access to operating instructions that a reasonable consumer can understand, so they know how to safely use products. If the products have some dangers, the product needs to clearly list those dangers with the directions.
