Product liability negligence occurs when a supplier, such as a wholesaler, retailer, distributor, manufacturer, or other party in the supply chain, places a product the stream of commerce with inaccurate or inadequate labeling, or manufacturing or design defects or flaws.
Generally, any manufacturers as well as any sellers down the distribution chain (i.e., distributors, wholesalers, and retailers) can be held legally responsible for a defective product causing injury.
There are three types of product defects that can result in product liability cases: Design defects, Manufacturing defects, and Marketing defects.
Product liability refers to when you're trying to hold a manufacturer liable for an injury you sustained while using their product. Unlike in strict liability cases, you have to be able to show some sort of negligence from the part of the Defendant (the entity getting sued).
