Providing Untested or Defective Defense Products
A government contractor has a responsibility to property test their products before selling them to the United States military. These products help and protect the nation’s soldiers, making it essential that they work properly. However, some contractors may sell their products to the federal government without properly inspecting them. This can leave soldiers with defective materials in dangerous situations.

Problems with Defective Products
The United States government spends a significant sum of money each year on products created by defense contractors. These contractors may fight to secure contracts from the military for a variety of different items. If a product has not been properly tested, a malfunction may leave a soldier in an extremely dangerous situation while on a base or on the battlefield. These defects may include the following:
- Defective munitions
- Design errors
- Defective weaponry
- Electric malfunctions
- Exposure of dangerous materials
Some defects may have more grim consequences than others, but any instance of product malfunction may qualify as contractor fraud.
