DEFECTIVE PRODUCTS

Defective products refers to the liability of a manufacturer, distributor, seller or other party in the chain of distribution for injuries or damage caused by a defective product.

Defective products have caused 22,000 deaths and 29.5 million injuries, according to estimates published by the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission.

Defective products recalled because they caused death or serious injury in recent years include automobiles, children’s products and toys, household appliances and fixtures, and home structure materials. When products such as these fail as a result of defective design or manufacturing defects, they can cause catastrophic injuries such as quadriplegia, paraplegia, brain injuries, limb loss and even death.

The manufacturers, distributors and sellers are responsible for the safety of their products and for warning consumers of any dangers associated with those products.
Defective products with defects in design, that are defectively manufactured, that do not have a correct or complete instructions, or that fail to warn of dangers and/or fail to live up to a warranty are examples of the types of products manufacturers, distributors and sellers can be held responsible for.

Product liability is generally considered a strict liability offense. This means that under product liability law, a defendant can be liable when it is shown that the product is defective. It is irrelevant whether the manufacturer or supplier exercised great care in designing or manufacturing the product. If there is a defect in the product that causes harm, the manufacturer or supplier may be liable for it.
