This book analyzes the theory and practice of products liability litigation, whether the issue is drugs, food, chemicals, or any of the 100s of other products that may be the subject of litigation.

Product Liability Law plays a vital role in protecting consumers from harm caused by dangerous or defective products. When a product fails to perform as intended due to design flaws, manufacturing defects, or inadequate warnings, injured parties may pursue defective product claims under various legal theories, including strict liability, negligence, or breach of warranty. This area of law intersects closely with consumer protection law, which ensures that manufacturers, distributors, and retailers are held accountable for the safety of the products they sell. Product safety regulations, both at the federal and state levels, set standards that companies must meet to avoid exposing consumers to risk. Failure to comply with these standards can significantly strengthen a product liability lawsuit. Victims of faulty goods may also seek remedies under specific consumer laws, such as the lemon law, which offers relief for persistent defects in new vehicles and other consumer products. Liability for defective products can extend across the entire distribution chain from the original manufacturer to the retailer. Whether you’re a legal professional or a consumer seeking justice, understanding the framework of product liability law is essential for addressing harm caused by unsafe products and ensuring companies prioritize safety and transparency in the marketplace.
