What is Product Liability?
Product liability refers to the legal responsibility of manufacturers, distributors, and retailers to ensure the products they sell are safe for consumers. When a product is defective and causes harm, the injured party has the right to seek compensation under product liability laws. These cases can arise from design flaws, manufacturing defects, or inadequate warnings or instructions.
At MR.LAW Accident and Injury Attorneys, we specialize in helping clients navigate the complexities of product liability claims. Our skilled legal team has extensive experience in handling a wide range of defective product cases, ensuring our clients receive the justice and compensation they deserve.
Common Types of Defective Products
Defective products come in many forms, often causing serious injuries or even fatalities. Some common types of defective products include:
Auto Parts
Faulty brakes, airbags, tires, and other automotive components can lead to catastrophic accidents. Manufacturers are responsible for ensuring these parts meet safety standards.
Medical Devices
Defective medical devices, such as pacemakers, surgical implants, or prosthetics, can result in severe health complications. Patients depend on these devices for their well-being, making their failure particularly dangerous.
Pharmaceutical Drugs
Dangerous drugs with undisclosed side effects or improper formulations can cause life-threatening conditions. Pharmaceutical companies must thoroughly test their products before releasing them to the public.
Children’s Products
Defective toys, car seats, and cribs can pose significant risks to children. Manufacturers must ensure their products meet stringent safety standards to protect the most vulnerable.
Household Products
Appliances, tools, and other household items with defects can cause burns, cuts, or other injuries. These products should be designed and manufactured to prevent foreseeable harm.
Strict Liability in Texas
Texas operates under the principle of strict liability in product liability cases. This means that injured parties do not need to prove negligence; they only need to demonstrate that the product was defective and caused their injury. There are three main types of product defects under Texas law:
Design Defects
A design defect exists when the product’s design is inherently dangerous, even if manufactured correctly. To prove a design defect, it must be shown that a safer alternative design was available and economically feasible.
Manufacturing Defects
A manufacturing defect occurs when a product deviates from its intended design, making it unsafe for use. This type of defect typically arises during the production process.
Marketing Defects
Also known as "failure to warn," marketing defects involve inadequate instructions or warnings about potential risks associated with using the product.
