PRODUCT LIABILITY - DEFECTIVE PRODUCTS

The designers and manufacturers of consumer products have a legal duty to care for the health and safety to their customers. If a consumer suffers personal injury while using manufactured goods in their intended manner then anyone involved in the chain from the initial concept of the design of the product to ultimate sale of the product to the public may be liable to pay compensation.

Products liability cases may involve strict liability, negligence, breach of warranty or misrepresentation and may arise as a result of dangerous toys, defective car and accessory design including SUV rollovers, defective medical products and improperly researched drugs, gas tank explosions, negligently designed consumer and household products, faulty industrial machinery and inadequate farm equipment including tractors.

The four main categories of products liability are as follows :-

• defective design which occurs when the product is inherently dangerous as a result of poor or inadequate design
• defective manufacture often means that the manufacturer is strictly liable to pay damages without the necessity of the consumer to prove negligence
• defective warnings are usually inaccurate or out of date or may have been contradicted by statements in advertising or made by the sales force
• negligent after sales service occurs when inherent product defects come to light and the consumer is not adequately warned about the product's lack of safety
