What Exactly is “Product Liability”?
The term “product liability” refers to claims by consumers for injuries caused by unsafe or dangerous products. But the reality is, it isn’t the product that is responsible for the damage. Poor design, manufacturing flaws, and failure to come clean when the risk of harm arises is what gives weight to a product liability case.
It is important to keep in mind, that these products are in many cases also sources of tremendous revenue for those who make and sell these products. Sometimes, however, a desire to increase profits may cause companies to cut corners and not take the proper care to ensure that their products won’t cause harm to the consumers who purchase and use them.
Shortcuts or lack of property quality control can result in defective or dangerous products that injure and kill people.
That is why the law allows individuals who have been injured due to unsafe or dangerous products to file lawsuits against a number of parties who may be potentially responsible for those losses. This includes designers, manufacturers, distributors, and retailers which negligently produce, distribute, or sell defective or dangerous goods, all of whom may be held accountable if their acts or omissions resulted in harm.
