Product liability and consumer protection claim FAQs

Product liability refers to the legal responsibility of manufacturers, distributors, or retailers for injuries caused by defective or unsafe products. This includes:

  • Defective automobiles.
  • Dangerous medications or medical devices.
  • Faulty appliances or machinery.
  • Contaminated or mislabeled food products.

Product defects generally fall into three categories:

  • Design Defects: Flaws in the product’s design make it inherently unsafe.
  • Manufacturing Defects: Errors during production cause the product to become dangerous.
  • Marketing Defects: Inadequate instructions, warnings, or labeling.

Depending on the circumstances, liability may fall on:

  • The manufacturer of the product.
  • Distributors or wholesalers.
  • Retailers who sold the product.

Compensation typically covers:

  • Medical expenses for injuries caused by the product.
  • Lost wages due to inability to work.

  • Costs of replacing or repairing damaged property.

Stop using the product immediately and document your injuries. Preserve the product and its packaging as evidence. Seek medical attention and consult a lawyer to determine your legal options.
