No Comments
| Design, Product Design

Sport utility vehicles are popular for its bigger size, spacious seats, and adventurous image. It is a favorite among field professionals and hobbyists. It has transformed conventional car driving into recreational activity for bigger families.

Its popularity goes along with the increase of fatalities on road accidents as reported by National Highway Traffic Safety. The annual rate for SUV roll over accident hints a pervasive danger of its design.

SUV has a taller structure and high center of gravity. Its design makes it susceptible to tripping when a driver exceeds speed limit and hit a road object. Slippery and curve roadway triggers a SUV to overturn.

Drivers of SUV have reported that it fails to stop upon approaching another vehicle or road obstruction.

If you encountered similar trouble with SUV and has suffered injuries because of its design defect, you may file a Product Liability claim.

Product liability allows you to litigate your complaints and recover damages for your losses.

You can establish the design defect by: 

  1. Show photos from the accident
  2. Present expert opinion of engineers and professionals on the hazard of the SUV.
  3. Prove that you have not violated traffic rules that may cause the accident
  4. Show evidence that the accident was caused by its inherent dangerous design and such resulted to your injuries.
  5. Present medical records
  6. Show purchase agreement, warranty, insurance policy, and pertinent vehicle documents.

You can also establish other theories of product liability such as manufacturing defect and marketing defect.

Manufacturing defect refers to the error during the production stage. The owner fails to

uphold quality and safety standards mandated by existing federal and state laws.

It is also the failure to produce effective parts that will stand extreme road condition.

Product Review of the Original Designer Reusable Bag by Envirosax

No Comments
| Design, Product Design

Envirosax® designer reusable bags are spreading the eco-friendly message with style! – a genuine claim made by Envirosax. I bought my first five Envirosax bags when I was on vacation in 2009. My soulmate and I were visiting Rhodes Island School of Design (RISD) in Providence. In the school store, we saw the eco-totes piled in a bin and went gaga over their soft feel and their glorious colors and patterns. And we liked how easily an Envirosax bag folds up and how its strap snaps together- just as an umbrella’s. It doesn’t need to be stuffed into a pouch, another plus. The pricing? Inexpensive!

Product Dimensions. The Envirosax bag weighs just 1.4oz. Unrolled, it measures 19.5″x16.5″. Rolled up and inside the optional pouch, it measures 4″x1.5″. Its weight capacity is 44lbs (equal to two plastic supermarket bags).

Product Material. Envirosax bags are made from ‘the all-new Envirosax Science Certification Systems (SCS) Certified Recycled Polyethylene Terephthalate (RPET) fabric’, which is simply recycled polyester (from bottles). The bags are waterproof.

While in the RISD school store, I first put just two Envirosax bags in a shopping basket and then as I thought about the family and friends we would soon be visiting, I added another and yet another to my basket. After leaving the store, I later returned for a few more. The Envirosax gifts were big hits with everyone, male and female.

By the time that my soulmate and I returned home from vacation, we had one Envirosax bag left. And I tucked that one into a safe deposit box with some special DVDs with the idea that I wouldn’t need to remember to take a bag with me upon returning to collect the DVDs.

So then I needed to buy another Envirosax bag. But I hadn’t noticed the brand. I went online to hunt. Even similar bags of different brands had some unlikable feature- cheap material; poor quality; ugly designs; not self-closing. And then, Eureka! I found an image of an Envirosax bag and then the Envirosax site.

I was surprised to see the large variety of design themes …
