      Design issue. The job of quality is to ensure that the item has been manufactured to meet all design criteria. A product with flaws in the design affecting the end user can still be made to high quality standards.

        It’s both, designer/engineer should have known but a good QA team would have caught it.

        Can we compromise and say “design QA”?

        A poorly designed product is still a problem with “QA” even if it’s the design quality that is poor rather than manufacturing quality.
