Product Liability/Products Liability

Product liability laws were established because consumers have the right to assume that the manufacturer of a product has supplied it without defects that can cause injury and/or destruction. Products unsuitable for what it was manufactured and marketed for or the containing a broken or missing part that can be repaired is considered a product liability. Laws often attribute strict liability on anyone along the manufacturing process providing a defective product.

There are several different types of defects that are considered products liability, including manufacturing errors, a design defect, or misrepresentation of the product by failing to provide proper warning or instruction for any possible risks. Anyone contributing to the defective product can be considered to have caused the product liability. Not just the manufacturer can be held liable for product liability but a wholesaler, advertiser, seller, or anyone else depending on the problems that occurred.
