Product Liability and Marketing Defects
When a person has been injured by a badly designed or manufactured product, filing a product liability claim can be the most effective way to regain some of his or her losses. In order to be successful, the plaintiff will need to demonstrate that the product has at least one of the following defects: design, manufacturing, or marketing. While the first two relate to flaws in the product itself, a marketing defect actually lies in how a product is sold.
For example, if you have been injured by the recalled supplement Hydroxycut, you may have grounds for a product liability claim. Depending on the details of your case, you could have evidence of a defective design (the product’s unsafe formula) or a marketing flaw (failure to warn customers about potential dangers).

Examples of Marketing Defects
A company may be guilty of a marketing defect if the packaging or advertisements of its products:
- Make false claims about the product’s uses or effectiveness
- Fail to warn users about potential health risks
- Lack adequate instructions for safe use of the product
Basically, companies have a responsibility to disclose accurate safety information to their customers. When they do not, they can become liable for any harm that results. For example, some injured Hydroxycut users have claimed that they were unaware of its potential dangers or even lacked information about all of its ingredients. If you are in this situation, you could have grounds for a Hydroxycut marketing defect lawsuit.
