Products Liability law is premised on the idea that companies who manufacture, sell, and distribute faulty products should be held accountable when someone gets hurt because of their negligence. If you have been injured by a defective product, you may be entitled to compensation from the negligent party.
Products Liability law deals with three different types of unsafe products:
- design defects;
- manufacturing defects; and
- warning defects.
Design defects deal with products that are inherently dangerous, even if they work exactly like they are intended. Manufacturing defects occur when a particular item is made incorrectly, making a normally safe product dangerous. Finally, design defects are about flawed instructions and marketing of the product. Thus, products liability law can apply to tools, machinery, toys, contaminated food, flammable clothing or textiles, medical devices, and pharmaceuticals, among other things. Further, products liability can be a strict liability offense, meaning that even if the defendants were not necessarily negligent, the injured person may still be entitled to compensation.
