How Product Liability is Defined

Manufacturers, distributors, and retailers are legally responsible for injuries or damages that their products cause. This is known as product liability.

Products that are defective or dangerous or otherwise fail to comply with the expectation of reasonable safety, the entities mentioned above can be held liable for harm done to consumers. Product liability issues cover a vast array of product types, including the following examples:

The list goes on and on. Any product manufactured and sold to the public is done so with a realistic expectation from the consumer that it will be a safe product. If you are harmed by the product, the manufacturer, distributor, or retailer may be responsible.

The Three Types of Product Liability Claims

Product liability claims are based on one of these three product liability issues. These legal issues include:

  • Design defects are claims that the product was designed defectively, which made it dangerous to use even for its intended purpose.
  • Manufacturing defect claims suggest that the product is dangerous, despite it being designed properly, because of a manufacturing error.
  • Marketing defects claim that the manufacturer or seller neglected to warn consumers about the risks of using the product or that they misrepresented the product to the public somehow.

A Long Island Product Liability Lawyer Can Assist You
