When is a Product Defective?

A product is considered defective when it does not provide the safety one can reasonably expect at the time it is placed on the market. Product liability is a broad concept that can encompass various situations. For example, a product may be deemed defective if an inverter overheats, short circuits occur due to faulty wiring, solar panels become loose due to weak mounting materials, or injuries are caused by an inadequate user manual.
