product defect

A product defect refers to a flaw or imperfection in a product that makes it unsafe, ineffective, or not function as intended. This can occur during design, manufacturing, or due to inadequate warnings or instructions. Defects can lead to various issues, such as malfunctioning appliances, unsafe toys, or contaminated food. When a product is defective, it may not perform as promised, potentially causing harm to users or financial loss. Companies are responsible for monitoring and addressing defects to ensure consumer safety and satisfaction, often through recalls or improvements.
