These lawsuits are pursued when a product is defective as a result of its design, manufacturing or marketing. Design defects are those flaws in the specifications; when products are made according to the specifications, they exist in every unit of a product. Manufacturing defects are flaws in how the product was made; they involve deviations from the specifications and exist in one unit or a batch of units, but typically not in every unit of the product. Marketing defects usually involve a failure to warn about a dangerous feature of the product.
