All parties may be strictly liable if the Consumer Protection Act 1987 applies to the supply of the product. For example, if a product is faulty, then the liability for any harm caused by the product lies ultimately with the manufacturer but could be commenced against any distributor, supplier or retailer.
Product liability law is a legal framework designed to hold manufacturers, distributors, suppliers, retailers, and other entities accountable for injuries caused by defective or dangerous products. This area of law ensures that consumers are protected from harm and can seek compensation if a product injures them.
