Product Liability and Consumer Safety
Manufacturers of household goods and consumer products have a duty to ensure their products are safe. Product liability cases arise when a product fails, is improperly manufactured, or lacks appropriate warnings, resulting in injury. These cases can be complex and often require expert testimony.
Example of a Product Liability Case
Consider a case involving a boxing arcade machine. The machine’s cushion was not properly placed, and a piece of steel caused injury during normal use. In this situation, the claim involved:
-
Product liability: The manufacturer failed to provide adequate warnings and protective measures.
-
Premises liability: The location owner also has a responsibility to ensure that equipment is safe for use.
Understanding both manufacturer and premises responsibilities is critical when pursuing a product liability claim.
