Products Liability
What is Products Liability?
As consumers, we rely on a wide range of products in our daily lives—from cars and power tools to medications, household goods, and food. We trust that these products are safe for us and our families to use. However, designers, manufacturers, and sellers have a legal responsibility to ensure their products are safe for their intended use, as well as for any reasonably foreseeable misuse. When a product is defective—whether due to design flaws, manufacturing errors, or insufficient warnings—it can cause serious injury or harm.
