Product Liability
Product liability is a legal concept that holds manufacturers, distributors, and sellers accountable for any harm or injury caused by the product. If a defective or dangerous product injures a consumer, they may be able to file a product liability claim to recover damages for their injuries.
There are three main types of product liability claims:
-
Manufacturing defect: This occurs when a product is defectively manufactured and causes harm to the consumer. This type of defect can occur during production, such as a mistake in the assembly line or a problem with the materials used to make the product. A product with a manufacturing defect differs from other products in the same line and from what the manufacturer intended.
-
A design defect occurs when a product has a dangerous or defective design, even if it is manufactured correctly. This type of defect means the product is inherently dangerous or harmful, regardless of how well it was made. For example, a car that is prone to rollover accidents due to its design would be considered to have a design defect.
-
Failure to warn occurs when a product does not have adequate warning labels or instructions, leading to injury or harm. This type of defect means that the product is safe to use, but the manufacturer failed to provide adequate warning about the potential dangers associated with the product. For example, a medication that is safe to use but fails to warn about possible side effects would be considered a failure to warn of defects
Companies must ensure their products are safe for consumers, and they have a legal responsibility to do so. If a dangerous or defective product injures a consumer, they may be entitled to compensation for their injuries. This compensation can include medical expenses, lost wages, and pain and suffering.
