What Is Product Liability?
Product liability refers to the legal responsibility of manufacturers who make, distribute, and sell products for any injury the product may cause. When manufacturers fail to uphold their duty to provide safe and effective products, the maker of the defective product may be liable for the resulting harm. Product liability cases typically fall into one of three categories: design defects, manufacturing defects, and marketing defects.
Design Defects
This category pertains to flaws in a product’s design that make it inherently unsafe, regardless of how well it is manufactured or marketed. If a product is deemed unreasonably dangerous due to its design, the product’s designer could be held responsible for any resulting injuries.
Manufacturing Defects
These defects occur during the production process. They are errors or mishaps during the manufacturing process. Manufacturing defects may apply to products in certain batches or lots.
Marketing Defects
Manufacturers have a legal duty to warn consumers adequately of any foreseeable hazards a product poses when used as directed. If consumers do not receive sufficient information about potential risks or specific usage instructions to avoid harm, any resulting injuries could be the basis for a product liability lawsuit.
