What Is Product Liability Law?
Product liability law is the legal framework that holds manufacturers, distributors, retailers, and suppliers accountable for any injuries caused by defective or dangerous products that make their way into our lives. This area of law holds parties responsible for making sure that a product placed on the market can meet stringent safety standards. Injured parties can sue one or more of these parties for compensation if their products cause harm. Understanding the three main types of product defects can help consumers recognize their potential for financial recourse.
Design Defects
Design defects occur when a product is inherently unsafe due to its design, meaning before manufacturing even begins. These defects have nothing to do with the manner that the product was made. You must demonstrate that there was a foreseeable risk when the product was designed and that a safer, feasible alternative design was available.
Manufacturing Defects
Manufacturing defects happen during the production or construction of the item. These defects typically affect only some products made with the same specification. They can result from poor workmanship or the use of substandard materials. A product suffers from a manufacturing defect if it does not conform to the designer’s or manufacturer’s intended specification, and this deviation causes harm to the consumer.
Marketing Defects
Marketing defects, also known as “failure to warn” defects, arise when products are not adequately labeled with adequate warnings or instructions about their safe use. This category includes failing to inform consumers of potential risks associated with the product’s use. Warnings and instructions must be clear and visible to prevent misuse and ensure consumer safety.
Proving liability for a defective product can be complicated. You need an experienced Kentucky product liability lawyer to represent you.
