What is product liability?<\/b><\/h2><\/div>

Product liability refers to a producer or seller being held accountable for putting a faulty product into the hands of a customer. All sellers in the product’s distribution chain have responsibility for a product flaw that causes damage. In general, the law mandates that a product fulfill the consumer’s usual expectations. When a product has an unforeseen defect or hazard, it cannot be considered to fulfill the consumer’s normal expectations.<\/span><\/p>\n

Product liability law is a system of legal principles that govern who is accountable for faulty or harmful items, although it differs from ordinary injury law. This collection of regulations might sometimes make it simpler for an injured individual to recover damages.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>

Types of defects that can prove fault in an Indiana product liability case<\/h2><\/div>

Products Liability Cases Come in a Variety of Forms<\/b><\/h3>\n

Design Defect<\/b>: A design fault happens when a product’s initial design incorporates a flaw that renders it dangerous. For example, if a coffee cup was constructed such that the bottom melted anytime hot liquid was placed inside of it, burning whoever was holding the cup, this would be considered a design fault.<\/span><\/p>\n

Manufacturing Defect<\/b>: A product may be marked with a manufacturing defect if the design of the product was sound but a mistake occurred during the manufacturing process, resulting in a dangerous product. For example, if a desk was constructed without some of the screws necessary to keep it together, although those screws were initially in the design plan.<\/span><\/p>\n

Warning Defect<\/b>: Manufacturers are required to issue warnings about potential hazards linked with the use or abuse of any specific product. Suppose a product does not provide enough warnings or instructions to avoid hazards connected with its usage, and a catastrophic injury occurs. In that case, the product is said to have a warning fault.<\/span><\/p>\n

For example, if a lawnmower did not come with instructions on how to clean the discharge shot, and there was no notice that there was a sharp blade within, and an injury was caused as a result of the blade, this would qualify as a warning fault.<\/span><\/p>\n
