Creating default object from empty value in Laravel 8 - laravel

Question

For some reason, I still get a warning message: Creating default object from empty value.
Product controller
public function update(Request $request, $id)
{
$products = new Product();
$products = Product::find($id);
if ($request->hasFile('image'))
{
$path = 'assets/uploads/products/'.$products->image;
if (File::exists($path))
{
File::delete($path);
}
$file = $request->file('image');
$ext = $file->getClientOriginalExtension();
$filename = time().'.'.$ext;
$file->move('assets/uploads/products/',$filename);
$products->image = $filename;
}
$products->name = $request->input('name');
$products->slug = $request->input('slug');
$products->small_description = $request->input('small_description');
$products->description = $request->input('description');
$products->origanl_price = $request->input('origanl_price');
$products->selling_price = $request->input('selling_price');
$products->qty = $request->input('qty');
$products->tax = $request->input('tax');
$products->status = $request->input('status') == TRUE? '1':'0';
$products->trending = $request->input('trending') == TRUE? '1':'0';
$products->meta_title = $request->input('meta_title');
$products->meta_keywords = $request->input('meta_keywords');
$products->meta_description = $request->input('meta_description');
$products->update();
return redirect('/products')
->with('success', 'Product updated Successfully');
}
When I update the product, the page returns an error.
Creating default object from empty value.
How can I properly initialize the new empty object?
