Product Liability Lawsuits
Manufacturers and designers have a legal obligation to ensure that products are designed correctly, that they have passed quality control tests, that no dangerous or defective products enter the market, and, if necessary, that each product has a warning label that is easy to locate and understand. Product liability cases typically fall into one of the following categories:
- Design Defect – If a product is inherently dangerous, regardless of whether or not it is being used properly, then it has a design defect. An example of a design defect would be a wheelbarrow with insufficient load-bearing capacity, as wheelbarrows are used specifically for transferring heavy loads. Another example is a car which rolls over at relatively low speeds. Another example is an all terrain fork lift which when it rolls over, which everybody knows it will, fails to protect the operator from injury.
- Manufacturing Defect – A product may be considered to have a manufacturing defect if the product differs from the original design as a result of the manufacturing process, or if the materials used or methods of construction weakened the product in some manner. The use of improper materials or poor quality control standards can cause manufacturing defects.
- Failure to Warn – If a product can pose a risk of injury or harm to the user as a result of being utilized for its intended function or in a manner that the manufacturer or designer should have foreseen, the manufacturer or designer is responsible for warning the consumer of such risks. If a ladder manufacturer fails to warn consumers about the risks of utilizing the top step, for example, they may be considered liable of any injuries that occur as a result.
When a consumer is harmed as a result of a defective product, the manufacturer (and sometimes the wholesaler, designer, or retailer) can be held liable, regardless of whether the party acted negligently or not. The manufacturer or retailer can be held liable for damages as long as the consumer was using the product as it was meant to be used at the time of his or her injury, or in a manner in which the manufacturer or designer should have foreseen.
