Industries Often Involved in Product Liability Cases
It is the responsibility of product manufacturers and designers to ensure the safety of their products, so as to not unduly injure or cause harm to consumers. However, there are many reports every year in which innocent consumers suffer health problems and injuries as a result of a defective or poorly made product.
As a paying consumer, you have the right to believe that the products you buy are safe to use or consume. As such, civil law allows for those who have sustained harm in such a manner to pursue product liability claims. While any product may cause substantial or undue harm to an unsuspecting person, there are certain industries that tend to see more defective or harmful products annually than others.
4 Implicated Industries
Every product has some level of potential to be involved in a product liability case, as every product could be dangerous somehow. However, the four industries that are most often the culprits of dangerous products include the following:
- Pharmaceuticals
- Food Products and Containers
- Childcare Products / Toys
- Machinery / Equipment
Part of the reason that these industries are so often involved in product liability cases might be due to the fact that they are more often utilized by American consumers than many other industries. However, this is no excuse for poor design or manufacturing.
