Design defect. Design defects imply that the actual products were faulty or that the device was not tested properly.
Marketing defects. Also called “failure to warn,” a marketing defect occurs when a device fails to list potential side effects, or when a company fails to disclose any potential problems. Failure to warn is often cited in cases involving defective drugs or medical devices.
Manufacturing defect.A manufacturing defect is one that occurs during the building, or production, of the device. This is the rarest type of claim, but it does happen.
