The Basics Of Product Liability
Product liability means that the vender or manufacturer of a product or good is accountable for any injury caused by the product. Legally, product liability falls into two main categories:
Manufacturing defects
If a product was designed properly, but something went awry in the production process (manufacturing, packaging, and sale), it is a manufacturer’s defect. Things can go wrong with the equipment, the process used to mix materials that make the product, assembly of the parts or with the product’s inspection process.
Design flaws
When the product has a design flaw, the problem may start with the prototype, the testing process or the failure to implement safety precautions and features in the development stage. Sometimes, the manufacturer or seller simply fails to warn users of known dangers associated with normal wear and tear on the product.
