Misrepresentation in the context of product liability cases involves misrepresenting the qualities, suitable uses, or characteristics of a product. An example of this would be ATVs. These large, unwieldy vehicles may be marketed as a safe and fun family ride, when in fact, it can be quite dangerous for children to sit on or use them.nnIf you relied on a misrepresentation, bought a product for an advertised use, and were harmed as a result, you could have a claim for misrepresentation.
