What Is Product Liability?

Product liability is a legal area that allows consumers who have been harmed by defective products to seek compensation for their injuries or illnesses. Defective products can cause injuries through manufacturing flaws, design flaws, or inadequate warnings. The liability for such products can extend to manufacturers, suppliers, retailers, or distributors involved in the product's journey to the consumer.

How Can a Product Be Defective?

In Florida, there are three primary theories of product defects that can lead to a successful product liability case:

1. Manufacturing Defects: These occur when a specific product deviates from the intended design during the manufacturing process, resulting in a defect that causes injury.

2. Design Defects: This type involves a flaw in the design itself that makes all units of a product unreasonably dangerous, regardless of how they were manufactured.

3. Failure to Warn: Manufacturers have a duty to provide adequate warnings about the potential risks associated with their products. Failure to do so can lead to liability, particularly in cases involving power tools, heavy equipment, or pharmaceuticals.

Types of Defective Products

Defective products can encompass a wide range of items, including but not limited to:

• Defective Medical Products: Vaginal mesh, hip implants, pain pumps, and surgical tools.
• Unsafe Drugs: Prescription medications like Accutane, Chantix, and Zocor.
• Consumer Products: Energy drinks, toys, appliances, cribs, and strollers.
• Automotive Defects: Faulty brakes, defective airbags, and poorly designed tires.
• Building Materials: Items such as asbestos and substandard construction materials.
