Product Liability

What is Product Liability?

Product liability refers to the accountability of a merchant, business, or manufacturer for bodily injury or property damage caused by a defect in their product.

According to the Legal Information Institute (LII) at Cornell Law School, product liability is defined as “the legal liability of manufacturers, distributors, and sellers to compensate consumers, users, and bystanders for damages or injuries caused by defective products.” As such, the term refers to the legal responsibility of manufacturers, retailers, and other parties involved in the supply chain for injuries or damages caused by defective or unsafe products. It encompasses the legal principles and rules governing liability for products that fail to meet safety standards or perform as expected, resulting in harm to consumers or users.

Product defects that may give rise to product liability can induce design, manufacturing, or labeling defects. Navigating product liability for such defective products involves proving that a product was defective, establishing causation between the defect and the injury, and demonstrating damages suffered by the plaintiff. Legal remedies may include compensation for medical expenses, lost wages, pain and suffering, and punitive damages in cases of gross negligence or willful misconduct.

Defective Products and Consumer Rights

Consumers have the right to expect the products they purchase to be safe and function as advertised. Yet, in 2023, more than 750 million defective products were recalled across the United States. Defective products can cause serious injury to consumers, whether it is a kitchen appliance that overheats and causes burns or a toy that is unsafe due to a choking hazard.

Defective Products and Consumer RightsDefects in everyday products raise important questions about product safety, consumer rights, product liability, and what legal protections are in place to hold product manufacturers accountable. If you suffered injuries caused by a defective product, it is important to understand your rights and the steps to take to recover damages.
