Common Products Regulated by the CPSC
Product liability law allows consumers who have been harmed to recover damages from manufacturers, distributors and retailers for injuries caused by defective products.
With this in mind, it’s also important to note that virtually all products are covered by product liability law, not just what you see on store shelves.
While food, pharmaceuticals, automobiles, medical devices and even commercial jets can fall under product liability law, there are a number of common, everyday items that also fall under this category.
Some of these items include:
- Johnson & Johnson Talcum Powder
- Children’s clothing
- Toys
- Fireplace burns
- Home and office furniture
- Household consumer goods
- Electronics / electrical items
- Takata Airbags
It is important to note that consumers do not always have to be the original owner of the product. For instance, you may be able to sue the manufacturer of a defective saw that injures you, even if you borrowed it from your friend.
Furthermore, even if sellers put their label on a product after purchasing it from another manufacturer, they may still be subject to a strict liability claim.
California Liability Standards
Strict liability is the standard that usually applies in California lawsuits related to defective products.
This standard allows the court to decide if manufacturers are responsible for injuries, even if they were not negligent.
In practical terms, this means that even if manufacturers can demonstrate they used care in designing and producing a product, they are still liable for damages if the injured consumer can prove:
- That the product was defective;
- They were using it as directed; and
- The product was not modified substantially.
Product liability claims can also be brought under a negligence theory. In this approach, the consumer must demonstrate that the manufacturer, distributor or other party involved in selling the product did not fulfill a duty to ensure that consumers received a safe product. Those claims can arise from a failure to anticipate design flaws or potential misuses, negligence in maintaining the manufacturing equipment or failure to issue warnings in product information.
A third claim, breach of warranty, emerges from the failure of a manufacturer or retailer to sell a product that is in proper condition and free from defects.
