What is products liability law?

Each party involved in the manufacture, marketing, and sale of products you buy has a responsibility to make certain that you remain safe. Products liability law was created to provide a way for those injured by using a product to be compensated for medical costs, lost wages, future income, disfigurement, and other possible issues.

The law applies is to three major areas of dysfunction:

  • Flaws in product design
  • Defects in product manufacturing
  • Misinformation in product marketing/packaging

Faulty design of the Ford Pinto™ is a widely known example of a deadly flaw resulting in products liability cases. Due to the poor design of the car, a Ford Pinto involved in a rear-end collision had a much greater risk than other cars of a gas tank explosion and car fire.

Manufacturing defects can occur even if the design of the product is safe.  These problems can be just as dangerous as poor design. For instance, tainted food, such as the recent peanut butter recall, is an all-too-common form of manufacturing defect.  Food poisoning can arise from improper handling, storage, or preparation of food that was healthful before bad practices ruined it.

Improper instructions or inadequate warnings about the inherent dangers of a product’s use may be the basis of a products liability suit. There are prominent cases you may hear about every day.  Currently, news of marketing improprieties related to prescription drugs has often filled headlines.

The prescription pain reliever Vioxx® has been linked to adverse cardiovascular events in long-term use. Because Merck, the manufacturer, failed to warn consumers of the inherent danger in the long-term use of Vioxx, Merck has been forced to pay millions in damages.
