Product liability is the liability a seller, distributor, or manufacturer has for making a defective work product available to the consumer. Some theories for which claims are commonly associated with product liability are: negligence, strict liability, and breach of warranty. Negligence is typically associated with the manufacturer’s conduct. Strict liability is typically associated with the condition of the product. Breaches of warranties can occur through express breaches, or through certain implied breaches.
Some common defects are: design defects, manufacturing defects, and marketing defects. A design defect may occur when the intentional design of the product makes it unreasonably dangerous. A manufacturing defect can occur when the product does not conform to the manufacturer’s own specifications. A marketing defect includes improper product labeling, insufficient instructions, or the failure to warn the consumer of a product’s hidden dangers.
It is important to hire a Tennessee product liability lawyer because a product liability claim requires different elements to be proven to present a successful claim. Contact Baker Associates today for your free initial consultation.
