The Definition of "Defect"
In 32 Tenn.L.R. 363, 373, the author wrote: ‘(N)o single definition of defect has proved adequate to define the scope of the manufacturer's strict liability in tort for physical injuries.’

See also Santor v. A and M Karagheusian, 44 N.J. 52, 207 A.2d 305 (1965), where the court stated that it was not necessary in the context of that case to attempt to define the outer limits of the word ‘defect,’ but that it was sufficient to say that the concept was a broad one and that the range of operation of this concept must be developed as the problems arise, and by courts mindful that the public interest demands consumer protection.
