Mechanical Product Liability Testing

With today’s faster and more automated manufacturing methods designed to get products to market faster, quality control can go by the wayside. Understanding how products and components are fabricated and mass-produced is critical to understanding the potential modes of failure. YA Group’s product liability testing team is experienced in evaluating conditions related to safety and usage, performance, durability, and compliance with various regulatory bodies and industry standards. Whether testing new products about to go to market or testing products that are in use and have experienced some type of failure, our goal is to understand why and how products fail, and ultimately, to provide assurance that the products you use, sell, or buy are safe and can be trusted.

Whether it be a faulty coffee machine that overheats the liquid, airbags that don’t deploy, a faulty valve on a washing machine, or warning labels that don’t identify issues properly; nobody wants to hear that a media site is reporting issues with their product. From the manufacturing side, it is critical to understand why a product isn’t safe and what is the quickest remedy. From the consumer’s side, there could be a wide distribution of a defective product that could impact a large group of individuals. Regardless of which side of the defective product our client represents, it is imperative to have the right expert who can analyze and opine on the root cause of the matter.
