What is Product Liability?
Product liability is an area of the law which hold manufacturers or sellers responsible for placing a defective product into a consumer’s hands. The responsible party could be anyone who has distributed the product, such as:
- The manufacturer of the product
- The manufacturer of the product’s parts
- The part responsible for the product’s assembly
- The wholesaler
- The store that sold the product
The faulty product must have been sold in the marketplace; for instance, if you bought the item at a garage sale and it malfunctioned when you used it, the seller cannot be held responsible for your injuries.
Types of Defective Products
There are generally three types of defects that would cause injury and lead to a product liability claim against the manufacturer and/or supplier:
- Design defects – There is a design flaw in the product which is causing the defect that lead to your injury.
- Manufacturing defects – Something that happened while the product was being assembled had caused the defect.
- Marketing defects – There’s a flaw in the way the product was being marketed, such as improper labeling, insufficient instructions, or lack of safety warnings.
