Sometimes, products fail not as a result of poor design or malfunction, but for not fitting in with their brands.
The observation revealed that sewer connections can also contribute to contamination if it is not properly designed and malfunctioning of the sewer pipes can contribute to contamination of groundwater.

The law allows victims to sue if there was a design defect or a malfunction with a gun, but there have been exceptions.
Kevin Deyette, a former senior reactor operator at the Columbia Generating Station, a conventional reactor near Richland, Wash., and now at NuScale, used the simulator to demonstrate how the design would handle a malfunction like the one that led to the Three Mile Island accident in 1979.
"Reviews determined that BrainLAB equipment performed as designed and did not malfunction," the statement said.
Consumers were asked whether they had any of 228 possible problems, including malfunctions and design issues like the ease of using controls and brakes generating too much dust, resulting in dirty wheels.
Since the 2013 incident, NASA had performed a detailed assessment of their spacesuit design to prevent similar malfunctions on future spacewalks.
