What is a warning defect?
A warning defect is a problem with a product that potentially endangers the user’s health and safety, but was not adequately warned of in the product packaging or instructions. Warning defects refer to warnings that are either inadequate, unclear, or completely lacking. In Oklahoma, the law regarding dangerous products states that companies must provide effective warnings of the risks associated with their products, so that consumers can make an informed decision. If a warning defect is found in a product, the company may be held liable for any damages or injuries caused by the unsafe product. It is also possible for a company to be held responsible even if the user was familiar with the product’s danger. For example, if a company fails to clearly warn a consumer of a new danger associated with its product, the company may still be held liable for any harm or harm caused by the product. It is important to be aware of the warnings that come with products and any new information about them. Companies are required to put warnings on products to ensure consumer safety. If you feel that a product has a warning defect that causes you harm, you may be entitled to compensation. It is always best to speak to a legal representative if you feel you have been hurt by a product with a warning defect.
