Products Liability

Product liability is the area of law in which manufacturers, distributors, suppliers, retailers, and others who make products available to the public are held legally responsible for injuries caused by those products.

Generally, a products liability claim falls into one of three categories:

• Design Defects: Present in a product from the beginning, making it inherently unsafe.
• Manufacturing Defects: Occur during the manufacturing or assembly process.
• Marketing Defects: Flaws in product marketing, such as improper labeling, insufficient instructions, or inadequate safety warnings.

Products liability cases include, but are not limited to, faulty car manufacturing, exploding e-cigarettes or vaporizers, tobacco products, silicone breast implants, asbestos building materials, faulty construction equipment, defective space heaters, unsafe food products, and any other product that causes injury while being used as intended.

Products liability is generally considered a strict liability offense, meaning a defendant is liable if the product is defective, regardless of intent. Recalled children’s toys or automobiles are common examples. If you or a loved one has been injured by a defective product, contact the attorneys at McCulloch Law, P.A. so they can investigate and evaluate your case.

After a product-related injury, document the injury and the defective product with photographs. Keep the defective product, as it will assist your attorney in evaluating the case and may prevent legal complications. Seek medical treatment promptly to receive care and document your injuries.
