Product liability covers claims when a consumer is injured by a defective item, a failure to warn, or a design flaw.
In California, you may pursue claims based on design defects, manufacturing defects, or inadequate warnings, with liability often extending to manufacturers, distributors, and retailers.
Product liability is the area of law that holds manufacturers and sellers responsible for injuries caused by defective products. If a product is unreasonably dangerous, misrepresented, or lacks clear instructions, you may have a legal claim.
Typical steps include establishing a defect, identifying liable parties, collecting evidence, and pursuing compensation through negotiations or court action.
This glossary explains common terms used in product liability cases.
A defective product is one that is unreasonably dangerous for its intended use due to design, manufacturing, or labeling flaws.
A design defect exists when the product’s overall design makes it dangerous, even if manufactured correctly.
Failure to warn means the product lacks adequate instructions or safety notices, increasing the risk of harm.
In many product liability cases, liability may be imposed on the manufacturer even without proof of negligence, if the product was defective and caused harm.
You may pursue claims against manufacturers, distributors, or retailers, choosing between settlement or litigation depending on your situation and goals.

In California, you generally have two years from the date of injury to file a product liability claim, with certain discovery rules applying. If a minor was harmed, tolling may affect deadlines. Always verify with a local attorney for your specific situation.
Damages may include medical expenses, lost wages, and non-economic damages like pain and suffering. In some cases, there may also be compensation for reduced earning capacity and out-of-pocket costs. Punitive damages are rare and depend on the case.
While you can pursue a claim without an attorney, product liability cases are complex and involve evaluating defenses, collecting evidence, and negotiating with manufacturers. A lawyer helps ensure you don’t miss important steps or deadlines.
Liability can fall on the manufacturer, distributor, or retailer. Fault may stem from a design defect, a manufacturing defect, or inadequate warnings. California uses comparative fault rules to determine how damages are allocated.
A design defect is a problem with the product’s overall design. A manufacturing defect occurs during production and results in an item that deviates from its intended design. Both can support liability claims depending on the evidence.
A recall indicates a safety issue but does not automatically resolve your claim. Depending on the circumstances, you may still have a viable product liability case if harm occurred.
Many product liability attorneys work on a contingency basis, meaning you pay a percentage of any recovery. Some costs may be advanced on your behalf. Confirm fee arrangements during a free initial consult.
