Shreveport Product Liability Lawyer
In what cases can I file a product liability claim?
Product liability is that area of law which holds the following parties
responsible for any injuries their products cause:
- Manufacturers
- Sellers
- Suppliers
- Retailers
- Distributors
In the United States, product liability claims generally have to do with
negligence, strict liability, breach of warranty and other consumer protection claims.
Which Type of of Product Liability Claim Fits My Case?
The three main types of product liability claims include:
- Manufacturing defects
- Defective design
- Failure to warn
To further explain, a manufacturing defect would be one that occurred during
the manufacturing process, and this often involves poor quality materials
or poor workmanship. With a design defect, the design itself was inherently
defective and useless, regardless of how well it was manufactured. A defective
design can be established when the product fails to satisfy its ordinary
expectations or when the risks of using the product far outweigh the benefits.
With a failure to warn defect, the product can carry inherent, yet not
obvious, dangers which could have been minimized had there been appropriate
warnings to the user. In such cases, these dangers exist no matter how
well the product was manufactured or how well it was designed for its
intended purpose.

injured every year by dangerous and defective products that have been
released on the consumer market. While any product can be dangerous from
a curling iron to your child's cough medicine, it's not uncommon
for dangerous and defective toys, children's products,
pharmaceutical drugs, automobile parts, and tools to be removed from the market because of
their risks to the consumer.
