Product Liability

Product liability refers to when a product is considered dangerous to the consumer, or anyone else using it. This may be when there is a defect in the manufacturing of the product, it may be a flaw in the design of the product, or it may even be when the manfacturer fails to display an explicit warning of its potential dangers.

Breach of Warranty

There are three types of "breach of warranty" when it comes to product liability:

  • breach of an express warranty
  • breach of an implied warranty of merchantability
  • breach of an implied warranty of fitness for a particular purpose

Breach of an express warranty claims what a product ought to be used for, where implied warranties cover assumptions that are common to all products. For example, the product is not particularly hazardous if it is used for its intended purposes, unless specifically stated by the manufacturer or the seller.

A product liability lawsuit can revolve around any type of product that is, for one reason or another, dangerous. The product can be anything - from as small as a toothbrush to as large as a car.
