Who Should Be Held Responsible For A Defective Product?
Product liability holds manufacturers or sellers accountable for providing consumers with defective and unreasonably dangerous products.
If a product defect causes injury, the responsibility falls on the sellers of the product. The law mandates that products should not cause harm when used in a foreseeable manner or even when reasonably misused. In the same way, a manufacturer that sells an unreasonably dangerous product cannot expect buyers and users to make it safe. Liability for a product defect could include any party in the product’s chain of distribution, for instance:
- The product manufacturer
- A manufacturer of component parts
- A party that assembles or installs the product
- The wholesaler
- The retail store that sold the product
Liable companies should provide support to victims of product injuries who have suffered the consequences due to their negligent actions.
