Product Liability Laws

What is Product Liability?

Product liability is a legal theory that holds manufacturers, sellers, and distributors responsible for injuries caused by defective products. A product is considered inferior if it is unreasonably dangerous to consumers.

What are the various kinds of product liability claims?

Product liability cases fall into three categories:

Design Defect: A design flaw occurs when a product’s design makes it inherently harmful. For example, a car with a malfunctioning braking system would be called a design flaw.

Manufacturing Defect: A manufacturing problem arises when a product is not manufactured following the manufacturer’s specifications. For example, a car with a faulty tire would be called a manufacturing flaw.

Failure to Warn: Failure to warn occurs when a producer fails to tell consumers about the hazards of a product. For example, a drug maker who fails to warn consumers of a drug’s adverse effects may be held accountable for any injuries that result.
