What Is Product Liability?

It is a legal term and process describing the liability and responsibility of manufacturers and sellers to ensure their products are safe for public use.

If a product is defective, fails to meet safety standards or lacks adequate warnings, consumers may have grounds to pursue a product liability claim. In Minneapolis, product liability claims fall under three categories:

• Design defects: These occur when a product’s design is inherently unsafe, making it prone to cause harm even when used as intended. For example, a child’s toy with small, detachable parts could pose a choking hazard.
• Manufacturing defects: Sometimes, a product may be well-designed, but errors during manufacturing can make it unsafe. A common instance might be a batch of food contaminated during processing, possibly leading to severe health risks.
• Failure to warn: This category applies to cases where a product is marketed without adequate instructions or warnings. For example, if a household cleaner lacks proper warning labels, a consumer could be exposed to toxic substances and suffer harm.

Understanding these categories and how they relate to your situation is important in determining how to move forward with a product liability claim. Our attorneys can offer clarity and insight when it is time to file your claim.
