Product Liability: Overview

Product liability is an area of law that holds product manufacturers, wholesalers and retailers accountable for injuries suffered from an unsafe product. Virtually all products are subject to product liability law from food, drugs, appliances, cars, toys, medical devices, medical implants and blood to tobacco, gases, written documents (instructions), real estate, maps, commercial jets and more.

Manufacturers have an obligation to design and make safe products for their consumers to use. They also have a duty to alert consumers of any potential problems related to their product such as product defects and product recalls.

Examples of product liability claims in Minnesota are:

• SUV rollover or other car accident
• Tire blow-out
• Car seat malfunction
• Defective medical device
• Faulty medical equipment
• Drug recall
• Mislabeled food supplement
• Toxic substance
• Unsafe construction equipment or faulty part

Defective or dangerous products are the cause of thousands of serious injuries every year including broken bones, burns, spine injuries, head injury, brain trauma and even wrongful death.
