A defect is a flaw in a product that makes it unsafe or unreasonably dangerous for its intended use.
Causation is the link between the defect and the injury, showing the defect was a substantial factor in causing harm.

California generally imposes a two-year statute of limitations for product liability claims, with some exceptions based on the facts of the case. Certain claims or situations may have shorter or longer deadlines, so it is important to consult an attorney promptly.
