Re: injury
A product can be defective in three ways: 1) the design is defective if the product could have been made safer by being built in a different way; 2) a part or parts of the product are inherently dangerous when used; or 3) there is not an adequate warning given about the use of the product to avoid the hazard, rendering it unreasonably dangerous. You do not necessarily have to test the unit to prove it is faulty, so long as your husband can describe what happened accurately. If the malfunction can be duplicated on a second machine, you probably have the type 1 defect. If it cannot be reduplicated, then you have the type 2 defect. Under either 1 or 2, the type 3 defect can probably also be proved. I would be glad to assist you in this case on a contingency fee basis, should you be interested. I would have to know a number of additional facts, however, before agreeing to take the case. I hope this has been of some help to you.
