Defective Products

Product liability is the area of law in which manufacturers, distributors, suppliers, retailers, wholesalers, and others in the chain of distribution of a particular product are held responsible, regardless of their fault, for the injuries their defective products cause. This is known as strict liability. Strict liability differs from negligence in that it eliminates the necessity for the injured party to prove that a defendant acted negligently. It focuses not on the conduct of the defendant but on the product itself, and holds the manufacturer and those in the chain of distribution liable if the product was defective.

Product liability cases may involve:

Design Defect
Manufacturing Defect
False Advertising
Lack of or Inadequate Warning

Cases involving defective products are usually based on one or more of the following causes of action: (a) design defect, (b) manufacturing defect, or (c) failure to warn. These claims may succeed even when the defective product was used incorrectly by the consumer, as long as the incorrect use was foreseeable by the manufacturer (or other party in the "supply chain"). In order to prevail, plaintiff must prove that (1) the product reached him/her without substantial change in its condition; (2) the product was used in the manner intended; and (3) plaintiff was injured as a result of a defect in the product, of which the plaintiff was not aware, making the product unsafe for its intended use.

Almost any type of product can be defective and can cause injury to individuals. Some examples of potentially defective products include tires, seatbelts, car seats, pharmaceutical drugs and home appliances. If a defective product has caused a death or injury to someone you know, it is important that you contact Los Angeles product liability lawyers at Fisher & Talwar.
