The
phrase "products liability" is used to describe situations
in which a person or property is injured or damaged
in some way due to a defective product or service. Products
liability is not a legal theory like strict liability,
negligence, or intentional torts, rather the phrase
simply means that the supplier, manufacturer, retailer,
or other provider of a product or service may be liable
for any injury or damage caused by such product or service.
People can recover damages when they are injured by
a defective or faulty product. Generally, an injured
party can sue and recover from any seller in the distribution
chain. Thus, the manufacturer, distributor, and even
the retailer are potentially liable for product-caused
injuries. Below is a sampling of products that may result
in injury or death for which another party may be liable.
