I. Introduction
Product liability is the area of law in which manufacturers, distributors, suppliers, retailers, and others who make products available to the public are held responsible for the injuries those products cause. Product liability cases turn not only on whether there was an injury from using the item but also on whether the product was defective or unexpectedly dangerous as well.

defective product
A defective product is a product that causes damage or injury to a person as a result of some defect in the product itself, its labeling or in the way that the product is used. The manufacturer or the person who sold the product to you can be held liable.

basis for a products liability claim
* Manufacturing Defect: The product is well designed, but the way in which it was made makes it unsafe. Maybe the kind of plastic used was weak and that caused the plastic to break when it should have been sturdier.
* Design Defect: The design of the product is unsafe, so the entire product line is unreasonably dangerous. See if there`s a better way to design the product and whether it makes sense to do so. Design defects also apply to the way a product is packaged. For example, if a drug is supposed to be sold in a childproof container and it`s not, and a child takes the drug and dies, the manufacturer can be held responsible.
* Insufficient Instructions or Warnings: The manufacturer may design a product that`s perfectly safe and has no manufacturing defects, but then fails to include proper warnings or instructions for safe operation.
