Defective Products
Product designers, manufacturers, wholesalers, distributors and sellers have an obligation to ensure their products are safe for use and consumption. When they fail to provide safe products and someone is severely injured or even killed as a result, the victim or their families can seek compensation from all responsible parties. Unfortunately, thousands die each year as a result of faulty products. Product liability lawsuits can be brought against the manufacturer, the distributor or wholesaler and the retailer ensuring that they are obligated the produce and sell save products. The following are some examples of products that can cause serious injury or even wrongful death:
- Products for babies
- Automobile parts and automobiles themselves
- Cosmetics
- Household appliances and furniture
- Industrial tools and machinery
- Drugs and medications
- Surgical devices
- Toys
- Food
- Ladders
- Flammable materials
- Injuries from table saws

Product Liability Law
Products liability law covers three types of product defects:
- Flaws in the design of a product
- Error in the manufacturing process
- Defects in marketing
If a product poses a danger that a manufacturer or someone in production could foresee, that product can be considered defective. Injury can still occur even if a product is manufactured and designed correctly, but if it is proven that a product was dangerous enough to cause injury, manufactures can be held liable under the law of products liability.
When a defective product causes injury, this can mean a products liability case. Defective products are those that are found to be unreasonably safe when used for what it is intended. A product’s intended use involves any use that a wise person would normally use that product for while taking into consideration its labels, warnings and features. Products liability cases can involve a lawsuit against the manufacturer, the distributor or wholesaler and the retailer.
