Product Liability 
General Info
Personal injury or
wrongful death can result from the use of dangerous or defective products.
"Products Liability" refers to the rules governing a manufacturer
or other provider liabilities for products that harm consumers or
workers.
The laws in this area are based on the idea that manufacturers, dealers, and
other commercial interests are best placed to prevent harm from defective or
dangerous products.
Companies that allow dangerous items into the marketplace can be held
accountable for resulting injuries. An experienced and knowledgeable
personal injury lawyer can advise injured persons on whether they may have a
claim against a product manufacturer or seller and can help them recover the
damages to which they are legally entitled.
The Victim's Burden
Historically consumers dealt with bad products on their own with no
recourse to the maker or seller. Although "caveat emptor" (let the buyer
beware) is no longer the standard, victims of bad products still need to protect
their rights. In products liability lawsuits, the victim has to show that
there was a product defect or that product labeling or warnings were inadequate.
The victim must also prove that the product caused harm while being used as
intended; alternatively, the victim must show that the manufacturer should have
anticipated the way the product actually was used (for example, a
manufacturer should anticipate that a steak knife will be used not only to cut
steak, but also to cut open packages).
Manufacturing defects are a common basis for products liability cases. If
one consumer's propane barbeque blows up when first lit, it's pretty clear that
there is a manufacturing defect in the product. A design-based case could
arise if an entire run of barbeques had the same problem because of a flaw in
the design of the item. In either case, the victim needs to show that the
defect existed when it came into his or her hands and that the defect caused the
injuries in question.
Almost every product might be the subject of a products liability case, but some
particular items seem to come up over and over again. Chemicals and other
materials, including asbestos, are commonly blamed for worker injuries.
Firearm manufacturers have faced lawsuits by victims of faulty weapons and of
shootings. Machinery and tools are frequent subjects (for example when a
homeowner is injured by an automatic garage door opener or a snow blower).
Medical products and devices may cause problems, and "lemon" cars have been the
subject of products liability suits. One of the most common targets is
tobacco, under a variety of legal theories; more recently, fast food has come
under scrutiny.
As in other personal injury cases, if a products liability victim proves his or
her case, the manufacturer or other responsible party will be ordered to pay damages, which
may include:
