Marketing Defects and Failure to Warn

A marketing defect occurs when a product is dangerous but the manufacturer or distributor doesn't provide adequate or clear warnings about how to use it safely or the potential risks. For example, a medication that interacts with alcohol should have a warning label. If the defect wasn't immediately obvious, the time period might be extended. There's also a legal standard called the "discovery rule" that limits when a defect must be discovered to be actionable. The statute of limitations for a wrongful death claim is 2 years.
