Thousands of new products are introduced into the construction industry each year. These tools, equipment, and building components sometimes fail to meet expectations or industry standards for performance. In some cases, poor installation or misuse of these products can result in the appearance of product deficiencies which, in turn, may result in a product liability claim. Some workmanship claims may actually result from product failure.
