What is Product Liability and Who Can NJ Residents Hold Liable for Injuries?

A manufacturer and/or retailer can be held accountable for your injury under NJ liability law if there is a defect of the following three types:

1. Design Defects are inherent to the product’s design. As such, the manufacturing process has no bearing on its faulty nature. An example of a design defect might include a model of a car that has a tendency to flip when turning corners.
2. Manufacturing Defects occur during the product’s construction or assembly. The design of the product is sound, but there was an error by the manufacturer. An example of a manufacturing defect is a cracked chain on a swing set.
3. Marketing Defects involve a failure to include instructions for safe use of the product or a warning label of any dangers associated with it. An example of a marketing defect is when a cough syrup fails to have a warning label alerting consumers to the fact that it may cause dangerous side effects if taken in combination with another medicine.

Manufacturers and retailers are considered liable for the harm caused by any defective products. Any product you purchase has the potential to be defective in design, manufacturing, or marketing. Some of the most common examples include, but are not limited to:

• Consumer products
• Motor vehicles
• Medical products – including Mirena IUD
• Prescription medication
• Machine accidents, including:
  • Punch press machines
  • Machine amputations
  • Rolling machines
  • Failure to guard against nip point

Experienced Personal Injury Lawyers Fight for Your Rights if You’ve Been Hurt by a Defective Product in Irvington, Plainfield, Rahway or Anywhere in New Jersey

After suffering an injury caused by a defective product, the best course of action is to find a reliable NJ defective product lawyer with extensive experience defending consumers. The product’s manufacturer may not be the only party liable for your injury. In fact, it is also important to determine whether the product’s wholesaler or distributor is liable for the defect in question. Product liability is considered a strict liability offense, so the plaintiff must only prove that the product in question was, in fact, defective.

If you were injured by a product that is or was in wide distribution, it is likely you were not the only person injured by the defective product. In this case, you may be eligible to file a class-action lawsuit against the manufacturer. Put Team Law’s extensive experience to work for you.

• Appropriately determine whether your injury was indeed caused by a product defect

• Determine whether you are eligible to file a class-action lawsuit
• Hold the manufacturer and/or retailer accountable for its product defect, and help prevent future injuries
