What is Product Liability?

Product liability refers to the legal responsibility of manufacturers, distributors, suppliers, and retailers for injuries caused by defective products. This liability can arise from manufacturing defects, design defects, or a failure to provide adequate warnings or instructions. Essentially, product liability occurs whenever a product causes harm due to being improperly manufactured, designed, or labeled.

Examples of Product Liability Cases

These types of class actions can cover a wide range of defective product issues. Some examples include:

• Manufacturing defects that are dangerous.
• Design flaws that make a product inherently unsafe.
• Failure to provide adequate warnings or instructions about a product’s risks.
• Contaminated food products.
• Defective medical devices.
• Faulty automotive parts.
• Unsafe children’s toys.
• Defective pharmaceuticals.
• Exploding batteries in electronic devices.

The New Jersey Product Liability Act

The New Jersey Product Liability Act is a law that protects consumers from defective products. If a product you bought causes injury or damage because it is unsafe, you can sue the manufacturer or seller for compensation. This law holds companies accountable for ensuring their products are safe to use.

What is a Product Liability Class Action?

A product liability class action is a lawsuit filed by one or more people on behalf of a larger group harmed by defective products from the same manufacturer or supplier. This collective legal action is useful when individual claims are too small to pursue separately. The court permits a group representative to act on behalf of all affected members, making the process more economical and efficient. These lawsuits seek compensation for victims and aim to hold businesses accountable, potentially prompting improvements in manufacturing and safety standards.

Recoverable Damages

With a product liability class action case, you may be entitled to compensation for damages that you’ve suffered, both economic and non-economic. This includes:

• Medical costs
• Lost wages
• Pain and suffering
• Scarring
• Loss of Enjoyment

A product liability attorney can advocate for you, fighting for your right to appropriate compensation for the suffering you’ve endured.
