Strict Liability Product

Strict liability product laws apply to anyone who profits from the manufacture or sale of a product. Those accountable to strict liability product laws include designers, manufacturers, wholesalers, and resellers, among others. Strict liability product law maintains that product safety is the responsibility of those who manufacture and sell goods.

Strict liability product issues include design and manufacturing flaws, and are not dependent upon fault. Individuals/corporations facing strict liability product legal cases can be found guilty even if they were not negligent; strict liability product laws exist to protect consumers from unsafe products. Because manufacturers and retailers profit from the products, strict liability product laws mandate that these individuals/corporations bear ultimate responsibility for the end user. Another key aspect of strict liability product regulations is the assumption that manufacturers can bear the cost of injuries resulting from their products.

Strict liability product claims require a few qualifications to exist. The product must have been dangerous when it was sold. Strict product liability does not apply to products that became dangerous due to modifications made after purchase. Proving strict liability product cases requires the consumer to demonstrate that the product was "unreasonably dangerous." Under the definition of strict liability product law, this means that the product was dangerous beyond ordinary consumer expectations; strict liability product law also applies if it is proven that the manufacturer rejected an affordable safer alternative.

Strict liability product law was designed to protect the end user from irresponsible sales and manufacturing of goods. Strict liability product cases, however, can still be complicated issues, and the regulations vary by state. A strict liability product attorney will be able to advise you if you think you have a case under strict liability product law.
