FAQ #15: What is Product Liability?
With the benefit of making lots of money selling products, comes the burden of making products that aren’t dangerous. Product liability law is just that. If a manufacturer makes a product that’s dangerous and puts that product out into the public arena, lets people buy it, and it starts to hurt folks, then the product manufacturer has an obligation to tell people about it, to fix it, to recall it, and to make sure that if they know something is dangerous, to try to stop another person from getting harmed. That’s really the whole basis of product liability law.
