Product liability
An area of the law in which manufacturers, distributors, suppliers, retailers and others who make products available to the public are held responsible for the injuries that those products cause. Usually, the injured party need not prove that manufacturer or supplier was negligent as the defect is associated with the product. Although the word ‘product’ has broad connotations, product liability as an area of the law is traditionally limited to products in the form of tangible personal property.
