WHAT MAKES A PRODUCT DEFECTIVE?

Clients often sit down with me at an initial meeting, describe their accident and a feature or component of a “product” and ask “do I have a case?” The answer to that question most often turns on whether the product or its component can be characterized as “defective”. A recent product recall by a large manufacturer provides an excellent learning tool on this topic.

In November, 2009, Maclaren, USA, Inc. issued a “voluntary” recall of several models of “umbrella” style baby strollers. As designed, manufactured and sold, the strollers had exposed “shear points” at the hinges. This design defect caused twelve reported cases in which infants’ fingertips were amputated in the shear point. According to news reports, these strollers were manufactured in China and distributed by Maclaren USA, Inc.

Under Pennsylvania and New Jersey law, product defects fall into three general categories: (1) Design defects; (2) Manufacturing defects/aka malfunctions; and (3) Failure to warn. The Maclaren baby stroller defect is a classic example of a design defect. A product is defective when it contains any component or feature which makes it unsafe for its intended use or anticipated misuse, or if it is lacking any feature necessary to make it safe. The exposed shear point obviously is a feature which makes the stroller unsafe. This is a classic “design defect” case.

Products are defective due to a “manufacturing defect” or “malfunction” when there is a flaw in the manufacture or construction of the particular product involved in the accident. A hypothetical example is a lightweight aluminum product such as a bicycle handlebar. Some of these products are designed to be as light as possible. The design involves portions of the handlebars which have very thin aluminum walls. These are generally safe if the manufacturing process is perfect. However, if an air bubble, grain of sand or other impurity gets into the aluminum at a stress point, this can cause a sudden, catastrophic failure of the bar. While the design is arguably sound, the presence of the flaw in the manufacturing process of the particular item makes that product defective.

Another way in which a product can be deemed defective is the failure to warn of potential dangers in the use of a product or the failure to provide the proper instructions as to the product’s safe use. An example here would be a manufacturing machine that has moving parts that can snag on loose clothing such as shirtsleeves or frayed work gloves. While such a product would likely be deemed defective in design, the failure to warn the users to avoid loose clothing and frayed gloves could also be considered a defect.

The examples of product defects are as varied as products themselves. Placing an emergency stop switch more than an arm’s length from an in-running pinch point on an industrial machine is a design defect. Designing a child’s toy with small pieces that can break off and choke a child is a design defect. Designing a farm tractor without an operator presence control that would shut the engine down if the operator left the operating station of the tractor is a design defect.

A wooden stepstool which is perfectly proper in design is defective if insufficient glue is used to assemble it. Metal scaffolding materials are defective if the welds are improper, causing the framing to fail under stress.

With the increasingly global nature of our economy, more and more products and component parts are being manufactured in foreign countries where labor costs are very low. Quality control systems in these countries and these factories are often below United States standards. With this, the incidence of manufacturing defects and malfunctions increases.

Also, big box discount stores often sell low price products that are designed and manufactured overseas. These products are often packaged with the intention that they will be sold in many countries. Sometimes, the warnings and instructions are formatted in such a way to have application in many countries which speak many languages. This can result in instructions and warnings that are very difficult to understand. This can constitute a warnings defect.

Bottom line, it is difficult to provide a universal description of a product defect. Each case, and each product, ordinarily must be evaluated on its own terms. An experienced attorney familiar with products liability law will often be able to give you a preliminary evaluation of whether a product is or is not “defective”. However, the opinion of a qualified expert witness or consultant is sometimes required before even a preliminary opinion or evaluation of a given case can be given.

Presentation within your salon can say a lot about your business. That’s why it is important that your products should not be stuck out of sight on an old shelf, but rather displayed in a location where they can easily be seen. For all your quality products, display them the way in which they deserve to be displayed – at the front of the salon, or as part of a window display, for example.

As a business your customer’s first impressions are invaluable to you, and by presenting your hair products in a stylish and professional way you will make a great impression on your customers. To achieve this, a quality glass ceiling to floor shelving display will catch your client’s attention and confirm the high standard of your salon.

If you are displaying hair and beauty products, a medium ceiling to floor display would be ideal but if your need a different size, there are displays available to suit most requirements. You might also consider having a poster pocket to display literature supporting your products. For example, an A2 portrait pocket above the shelves, connected to the wires. This will create an eye catching and often irresistible display and reassure your clients of overall excellence.

The ceiling to floor shelving displays [http://www.displaysense.co.uk/shelf-displays-and-retail-shelving-units/ceiling-to-floor-shelf-displays] are made with 4m long cables that you simply cut to your required length, while the fixtures for ceiling to floor mounting are included and easy to assemble. The display shelves are toughened and polished 6mm safety glass which you clamp to your required height on the wire. The glass shelving is very safe and also provides a hygienic display for your salon’s products and can be easily wiped clean.

If your products are not being presented with the quality they deserve or you want to prove the high standard of your salon with interior shelving units, then companies such as Displaysense can offer a range of retail shelving displays to suit most requirements, and can provide a variety of glass shelf displays with the option of supportive graphic poster holders to create the perfect, professional shelving display.

Is it possible to pick up all the old junky cars in backyards across America and recycle them? Car we use these materials to make new cars? Many believe this is possible. Argonne Labs in Illinois has discovered was to use the foam behind dashboards and recycle it. Other studies are finding ways to re-use nearly every part of the car. Can it be possible to clean up America and remove all the rust buckets that are decaying, cars that will never be used for anything again; never to be restored?

Met an interesting man the other day in a coffee shop. He was in the building materials business and traveled quite a bit and needed a Frappachino; hot day. He was telling me his son is in college in Washington State and he could not believe all the farmers and folks who had old cars rusting away. His idea is that someone who was industrious ought to get a huge flat bed truck offer the land owner to pick up this old debris by the pound, as they pick it up weigh it and then cut the guy a check and everyone is happy.

One has to applaud such rational thinking and simplicity; a good business for someone as well. Now since being familiar with the area in Washington he was describing; why not use some of those old logging trucks which have the loader right behind the cab of the truck and then get a large tractor trailer dump truck bed and just do it? After all the trucks are not being used and for sale everywhere because logging from Aberdene going west towards Montana and South to California or North to Port Angeles is really not what it use to be. Many in the timber business are out of work and have equipment sitting idle, big logging trucks; why not recycle some of this old junk.

The guy I met had to go and I never got his name, but his idea is duly registered here in this article, who ever he is?

In this country we have Salt Mines, Uranium Mines, Zinc, Lead, Molybdenum, Iron Ore, Copper, Silver, Gold, Aluminum, etc. We are making it tough on mines to operate in this country and we are losing our industrial capacity to other nations, which further offsets our trade deficits. We should be increasing our mining efforts and exporting raw materials not importing them. We also ought to mine some of our civilizations waste while we are at it. Some of what we ought to be mining is old computers, refuse and disposed of automobiles. Gosh you drive through the South and every Jerry Springer future guest star has five cars sitting out front with the high grass camouflaging them. Europeans have an interesting idea;

[http://www.parthe.net/_cwg0503/0000006f.htm]

[http://www.parthe.net/_cwg0503/00000070.htm] .

How about all those tires? We should be mining those too. We should be finding ways to mine better and when we can figure out ways to re-use and mine old vehicles, which is the best for all concerned. We must keep our mines running, it employs lots of people and provides local raw materials, thus saving the expense of overseas shipping and if we are careful to mitigate the issues of environment along with the need for efficiencies, we should be able to slow the flow of the growing deficit.

Think about all the raw materials our nation’s geography has, it is abundant indeed. Our waste also contains valuable plastics, rubber, scrap; all of which contain materials we can use to propel our civilization more efficiently. Won’t you join me in spreading the word?

People are constantly searching for great products to sell on EBay, but they are always falling short – succumbing to scams, selling bad products, or not being able to find the product at all. First of all, before you even waste your time searching for a product let me tell you something.

You can not make money online…. – without knowing what products sell before hand. Research is the most important phase of business period, and that can not be anymore true than with selling products on the internet.

Now let’s start with the obvious, most people simply do not know what products to sell – so how should you? There are millions of possible products out there – most of which will not sell you for profit. Here is the sure proof method of whether a product will get you profit or not.

Your goal is to get the absolute best product correct? Well, in that case you want to research products that have already sold. The saying holds true. Do not re-invent the wheel. Therefore you want to make sure that you are selling something that is hot, or at least has a need.

Here are our two special methods of finding a great product that works:

Keyword Research – We tend to go around the internet and find out what the hottest products are. Then we go to a “keyword research tool” such as the “Google AdWords Tool” and find out how much that product is being searched. We even go on EBay and find out if that product is receiving tons of bids from different amounts of people. If that product is seemingly “hot” and has been for awhile – then that’s a great product to sell.

EBay End Auctions – We like to go to the ending EBay auctions and see what products are selling. We even might check the section where EBay lists the hottest items – including EBay pulse. We see what items are receiving tons of bids and are selling for over their MSRP. This is to ensure that we are selling a profit that will get use incredible profit.

This is a great tool for many beginners to use as something to stimulate and start finding a product that actually sells because it can be rather tough in the beginning when you are starting a business. There are tons of gurus out there who claim and promise you EBay is easy – but there are just so many questions that need to be answer when you are in the midst of it.

The hardest part is getting started, but once you find your “niche” – (and I promise you will as there are millions of undiscovered niches and markets to tap into). You will make an incredible amounts of money with a repeat base of customers. You can even consider starting your own EBay store to increase profits – selling products on the “Buy-it-Now” on a stable price that is much more than what you paid for it!

If your company’s fortunes reverse, resulting in negative cash flow, where can you turn for a loan? What about pre-profit start-ups, where are they to turn? All is not lost. There are specialty lenders who cater to companies facing these challenges.

Most lenders shun companies beset with negative cash flow for the obvious reasons. A credit basic is to avoid borrowers with insufficient cash flow to service debt obligations and operating requirements. Negative cash flow often signals deeper borrower issues and usually represents a large red flag for most lenders.

For certain specialty lenders, however, companies with negative cash flow can represent attractive opportunities. What are some of the things these lenders look for to offset the impact of negative cash flow? The short answer is strength in some combination of other basic credit elements: a highly talented management team, an otherwise successful operating history, significant unencumbered assets, low financial leverage, a viable plan to turn cash flow around, and/or the ability of the borrower to offer credit enhancements.

Credit enhancements can take many forms: a pledge of company assets, a pledge of personal assets, security deposits, personal guarantees of the principals or investors, other corporate guarantees, or other enhancements. These enhancements come into play when these specialty lenders are able to structure transactions offering what they believe is sufficient downside protection to offset the risk of negative cash flow.

Who are the lenders that specialize in lending to companies with negative cash flow? There are usually a few lenders in every credit segment that serve high-risk borrowers. Corporate borrowers with negative cash flow often fall into the high-risk category. Lenders to this high-risk group usually lend against hard collateral such as heavy machinery, rolling stock, manufacturing equipment, lab and test equipment and other items with proven after-markets. Some lenders specialize in accounts and notes receivable. They look for a pledge or an outright purchase of quality receivables. Other lenders take a more general approach. They look at a borrower’s complete situation, and then structure a transaction with several credit enhancements. These enhancements might include the guarantees of the principals, a cash security deposit and an all-asset lien against the company.

In addition to high-risk lenders, there are high-risk leasing companies that target companies with negative cash flow. These lessors approach their transactions in much the same way as high-risk lenders, except they structure lease transactions (usually with the lessor retaining ownership of the underlying leased asset).

For taking the additional risk, most secured lenders and lessors look for higher transaction yields commensurate with the risk. It is common for high-risk lenders to require loan rates several hundred basis points above those of traditional bank lenders. A few lenders and lessors take even greater risk. They are willing to trade off the downside protection of additional collateral for an opportunity to receive larger yields. They seek yield enhancements in the form of stock warrants, royalty payments or other equity participation. These yield enhancements are often an acceptable price to pay for borrowers with no where else to turn.

Where do you find lenders and lessors who serve companies with negative cash flow? Look for sub-prime lenders or ones holding themselves out as high-risk lenders. A good way to find these lenders is through referrals from bankers, accountants, attorneys and other business colleagues. In many markets, finance brokers actively bring borrowers and high-risk credit providers together. Also, a good place to check is your industry trade association and the trade associations for lenders. A last place to check is online. A Google search of sub-prime lenders or lessors specializing in specific asset categories, high risk business lenders, or high risk leasing companies will usually turn up quite a few providers.

If your company develops negative cash flow, this set-back is not an automatic sentence to corporate purgatory. With a compelling story and the ability to muster attractive collateral or sufficient credit enhancements, you can probably attract lenders willing to assist your firm. Launch an effort to identify these lenders, be prepared to tell your company’s story, and be prepared to negotiate.
