An Example of Product Liability

This is an example of how product liability law protects consumers, along with a government agency that enforced the manufacturer’s obligation to their customers. In this example, only one child was claimed to have been injured by the product, but the issue is being addressed and there will hopefully be no more injuries that result from it.

When it Doesn’t Work

There are cases where manufacturers don’t react quickly enough to prevent people from being injured by their products, or from having their property damaged by their products. When this happens, the consumers affected sometimes end up pressing a lawsuit to get damages for their pain and suffering, their property damage and their injuries. The fact that consumers have this option makes it imperative for manufacturers to act quickly when a defect is discovered with one of their products and helps to make sure that consumers aren’t buying goods and services in a market where there is no accountability.

When a product is manufactured in a way that makes it dangerous, the manufacturer may be held liable. The same is true if it is advertised improperly or if it is designed improperly. This obligation on the part of the manufacturer to provide safe products keeps the marketplace trustworthy and, therefore, vibrant.
