Product Liability
Definition:
Product liability is the law that holds manufacturers, retailers, suppliers and
other makers of a product responsible for injuries caused by that product.
A product liability claim could consist
of a defect in the design, a defect in manufacturing or a failure to warn
the consumer of something. Manufacturers can be held liable even if they
do not act with negligence. Product liability claims can be valid based
on the idea that the manufacturer oversaw a certain aspect during production.
Consequences of Product Liability:
A person can claim product liability if there was negligence, breach of warranty or strict liability. A person making a product liability claim has to prove that the product is in fact defective. In other words, it needs to be proven that there was either a design, manufacturing or marketing defect.What a Lawyer can do for you:
