Legal Terms – defect
1. A fault or failing in a thing. A latent defect is one that is initially undetectable while an evident defect is one that is immediately visible. If there is a latent flaw in the goods, the buyer typically has legal recourse against a professional seller. If he had the chance to inspect the items before purchasing, he often has no recourse in the event of a patent defect.
2.(A product's flaw) a product defect as specified by the Consumer Protection Act of 1987. When a product's safety is below what the general public is entitled to expect, it is considered defective under the Act. When assessing the reasonable expectations of individuals, consideration should be given to the product's markings, any accompanying cautions, and the delivery schedule. The Act puts into effect *product responsibility EU Directive 85/374. The Latent Damage Act of 1986 extends the statute of limitations for bringing legal action to three years from the day the latent flaw manifests itself.
