Products Liability

A product liability claim is typically based on a design defect, a manufacturing defect, or a failure to warn. Under the first scenario, the injured party must show that an unsafe product was designed despite the availability of safer, cost -effective alternatives. In other words, even if the item may well serve its intended purpose, it can still be unreasonably dangerous to use due to a flaw in its design. In a manufacturing defect claim, the plaintiff must show that the product varies from its intended design. In such a scenario, the fact that the product is defective and that it has caused an injury is enough to hold the manufacturer liable for such injuries, under the theory of strict liability. This is true even if the manufacturer was not negligent in making the product defective. This is the most common type of product liability claim. The third scenario is when there is a defect in marketing the product, which most typically is a failure to warn of its inherent dangers or improper instructions on how to safely use the product. Product liability claims often involve the sale of unsafe drugs and medications. Just because the FDA has approved a product for distribution, that does not mean that the product is necessarily safe.
