Product Liability and Dangerous Household Items
Dangerous household products often go unnoticed until an accident occurs. If a household appliance or item causes injury when used in a typical manner, the manufacturer may be responsible for resulting damages.
Manufacturer Responsibilities
Manufacturers have a duty to warn consumers about potential risks and proper usage of their products. For example, a lawnmower should include warnings to wear foot and eye protection, as well as appropriate clothing. If a manufacturer fails to provide these warnings and a foreseeable injury occurs—such as a rock being thrown and striking a person—the manufacturer can be held liable.
Understanding these responsibilities is critical when pursuing a product liability claim.
