What Is Product Liability?

Product liability is the area of law that holds manufacturers, sellers, and others in the supply chain legally responsible when a defective product causes injury or harm. Unlike general negligence claims, product liability cases often allow injured consumers to pursue compensation even when they cannot pinpoint exactly where the breakdown occurred. Every party that handled the product from design to delivery—can potentially bear responsibility.

• Design Defects: The product's design is inherently unsafe, meaning every unit manufactured carries the same flaw.
• Manufacturing Defects: An error during production makes a specific product or batch dangerous, even if the design itself was sound.
• Marketing Defects (Failure to Warn): The product lacks adequate instructions or warnings about known risks.

• Faulty auto parts — brakes, airbags, tires, or steering components that lead to accidents
• Unsafe children's products — toys, car seats, or furniture that pose hazards
• Defective household appliances — products that overheat, catch fire, or malfunction
