defective product
Malfunctioning sold item
A defective product is a manufactured item with a flaw that makes it dangerous or unfit for its intended use.
The term appears frequently in legal contexts—product liability law holds manufacturers responsible for harm caused by defective products: The lawsuit claimed the airbag was a defective product that failed to deploy.
Defects may be in design, manufacturing, or labeling.
