Questão jurídica principal
Whether the coffee maker was defective under the LRFP and whether the claimant had to prove a technical manufacturing or design defect.
Decisão extraída
The claimant did not have to prove a specific manufacturing or design defect; it was enough to show that the product lacked the safety legitimately expected by the average consumer.
Fundamentação extraída
Article 4 LRFP defines defect by objective safety expectations. Technical categories such as manufacturing, design, and presentation defects have no normative force. The lower court used too narrow a conception of defect.
