A dangerous drug or medical device liability claim holds manufacturers and distributors accountable when a product is defectively designed, defectively manufactured, or lacks adequate warnings, and injuries result.

Common terms you may encounter include product liability, design defect, failure to warn, recall, adverse event, and causation.
