Design Defect

A design defect refers to a flaw in the intended design of a product that makes it inherently unsafe or ineffective, regardless of how well it is made. This means that the product was poorly conceived from the beginning, leading to potential harm or issues when used as intended. Unlike manufacturing defects, which occur during production, a design defect indicates that the original blueprint or concept had serious shortcomings. Addressing a design defect typically involves redesigning the product to eliminate the harmful aspects and ensure it functions safely and effectively for users.
