Product Liability

Product Liability Lawsuits

Product liability refers to the liability of any and all parties along the chain of manufacture production for an item that has caused damage to a consumer. Product liability claims are pursued for different reasons. The defendant could sell a product that the plaintiff uses and said item becomes the proximate cause of plaintiff injury.. The defendant could be a commercial seller of such a product.. Or when the item was sold it was simply defective.

Defects That Create Liability 

There are three types of product defects that incur liability in manufactures and suppliers.

  1. Design Defects

Design flaws are some of the most common in liability cases. While the item might serve its purpose well it can be unreasonably dangerous to use because of a design flaw. 

  1. Manufacturing Defects

Manufacturing defects occur during the construction or production of the item. Only a few out of many products will be flawed with manufacturing defects.

  1. Defects in Marketing

Defects in marketing are due to improper or false instructions or failure to warn consumers of the dangers of using said product.
