Product liability covers injuries caused by defective goods, including design flaws, process errors during manufacturing, and insufficient or misleading warnings.
In California, liability may extend to manufacturers, distributors, retailers, and others involved in making or selling a dangerous product available to consumers.
Product liability is the area of law that allows a person injured by a dangerous or defective product to recover damages from those responsible for creating or selling it. Depending on the theory, you may pursue strict liability or negligence claims.
The core elements are defect, causation, and damages. The process includes case investigation, determining liability, collecting evidence, negotiating settlements, and, when necessary, filing a lawsuit.
Below are common terms you’ll encounter and what they mean in product liability cases.
A product defect is a flaw in design, manufacturing, or labeling that makes a product unsafe for its intended use.
Causation connects the defect to the injury; you must show the defect was a substantial factor in causing harm.
Liability may rest with manufacturers, assemblers, distributors, or retailers depending on involvement and the chain of distribution.
California law imposes deadlines to file a claim, so prompt consultation is important.
