Understanding Product Liability

Product liability refers to the legal responsibility manufacturers, distributors, and retailers have for ensuring their products are safe for consumers. When these parties fail to uphold this duty, and their negligence results in injury, they can be held liable for damages.

Types of Defects in Product Liability Cases:
Products can become hazardous due to defects in:

  • Design: Flaws in the initial design make the product inherently dangerous (e.g., a car prone to rollovers due to a high center of gravity).
  • Manufacturing: Errors during production result in unsafe products (e.g., contaminated food or poorly assembled machinery).
  • Marketing: Inadequate instructions or warnings lead to misuse (e.g., a lack of age-appropriate labels on toys).

If you suspect that a defective product caused your injuries, consult our experienced attorneys to evaluate your case.

Common Defective Products

Dangerous products can appear in almost any category, from household items to complex machinery. Some common examples include:

  • Automotive parts: Defective airbags, seat belts, or brakes
  • Children’s products: Toys with choking hazards or lead paint
  • Medical devices: Faulty implants or dangerous pharmaceuticals
  • Electronics: Devices that overheat or explode
  • Food and beverages: Contaminated or mislabeled products

Always check for recalls and warnings about defective items. If a product caused you harm, even if it wasn’t recalled, you might still have a valid claim.

Types of Product Liability Claims

There are three primary legal theories under which product liability cases can be pursued:

  1. Strict Liability:
    Manufacturers can be held liable without proving negligence if the product is defective and caused harm. This approach focuses on the defect itself rather than the manufacturer’s intent.
  2. Negligence:
    This claim requires proof that the manufacturer failed to exercise reasonable care in designing, producing, or marketing the product. Examples include failing to test products or ignoring known risks.
  3. Breach of Warranty:
    Manufacturers make express or implied promises about a product’s safety and quality. If the product fails to meet these standards and causes harm, a breach of warranty claim may be appropriate.

Our attorneys will analyze your case to determine the most effective legal strategy.

Injuries in Product Liability Cases

Defective products can cause devastating injuries, including:

  • Burns or electrocution
  • Bone fractures and dislocations
  • Brain injuries or internal organ damage
  • Permanent scarring or disfigurement
  • Paralysis or other life-altering conditions
  • Wrongful death

If you or a loved one has suffered due to a defective product, you may be entitled to compensation for medical expenses, lost wages, and emotional distress.

Steps to Take After a Defective Product Injury

If you’ve been injured, taking these steps can strengthen your case:

  1. Preserve the product: Keep the defective item and any related packaging or receipts.
  2. Document your injuries: Take photos, gather medical records, and note the timeline of events.
  3. Report the issue: Notify the manufacturer or seller about the defect.
  4. Consult an attorney: Product liability cases can be complex, requiring legal expertise to navigate.

Our team at CLS Law can guide you through each step, ensuring you build a strong case.
