What is a marketing defect?

A marketing defect occurs when a product has been marketed in a way that caused injury or harm to a consumer. This type of defect can be caused by a number of different factors, including inadequate warnings about the product’s potential hazards, false or misleading advertising, or failing to include important safety info on the product’s labeling. In Maryland, a person injured by a product with a marketing defect may be entitled to compensation under the state’s dangerous products law. Specifically, an injured person may be able to recover monetary damages if the court finds the manufacturer or seller of the product acted negligently or failed to exercise reasonable care. This means the manufacturer should have taken steps to ensure the product was safe for consumers and to ensure that the product was marketed responsibly.
