Harmful Product Chicago Heading Goes Here
Product liability refers to the legal responsibility of manufacturers, distributors, and retailers to ensure that their products are reasonably safe for use. When a defective or dangerous product causes injury or death, the company responsible can be held liable in a civil lawsuit.
There are several ways a product can be defective:
- Design Defect: The product’s design is inherently dangerous, even when used as intended
- Manufacturing Defect: Something went wrong during production, making the product unsafe
- Marketing Defect (Failure to Warn): The product lacked proper instructions or warnings about risks
At Postman Law, we investigate all possible sources of liability and build strong cases against the companies that failed to protect consumers.
