Product Defect Complaints FAQ
Are defects the same as returns?
No. Defects focus on product quality failure, not all return reasons.
Do I need supplier corrective statements?

Usually advisable while correction and validation are in progress.

Yes, if defect pressure remains unresolved across listings.
