Whose fault is it anyway? Everyone from mp3 player companies, to software
companies to kitchen appliance companies have a responsibility when their
products go bad. But what rights to you really have?
Product liability under the law is a liability that applies to manufacturers and
sellers of products. Under product liability, they are legally liable to
compensate users, buyers or even bystanders for any damages or injuries caused
and suffered because of defects in the products they manufactured. The law that
makes a manufacturer liable, in the event that his product has a defective
condition making it unreasonably dangerous is called a tort (civil wrong
The links in the complete product life cycle beginning from the raw material
manufacturer, the component manufacturers, the assemblers, the wholesalers and
retailers, all or any are liable for the damage caused by the end product. The
exact liability will depend upon analysis and investigation of the product and
its parts that caused the damage enabling one to pin point the responsibility of
the manufacturer or any other link in the chain of the product life cycle.
The law of product liability applies to tangible and intangible properties. The
product liability forms can be filled in by the affected persons irrespective of
whether they were the owners of the product or not. However, product liability
law varies from country to country.
The primary evidence has to be proven, i.e. the proof that the product is
defective is absolutely necessary to have a valid product liability claim.
Product liability arises from three kinds of defects - design, manufacturing and
marketing defects.
Design defect are built in and have already happened even before the product has
been manufactured. This defect propagates to all products in a particular batch
until the design is changed to the right one. Manufacturing defects are the
defects that occur during the manufacturing process of a product. They can occur
due to workmen's mistakes or ignorance. Marketing defects refer to improper
usage instructions printed and distributed along with the product or a failure
to warn the consumers of impending damages and dangers of using the product.
All the above defects render the manufacturer or anyone in the product life
cycle chain liable to compensate the aggrieved party. Despite the fact that
these defects were not intentionally placed to cause damage, the right to use by
a consumer defines his right to quality and right to value for money.
