Products Liability for Injuries Caused by Defective Products – Holding manufacturers responsible for the harm caused by Product Defects
Manufacturers and sellers of products have a duty to ensure that their products are reasonably fit, suitable, and safe for their intended use by consumers. A manufacturer that fails to prevent a defect in a product that causes injuries may be liable for the resulting harm. Our Dallas product liability attorneys help you obtain compensation when you are injured or lose a loved one because of a dangerous or defective product. In the USA the Consumer Product Safety Commission list a wide range of products being recalled.
How Is Liability And Compensation Determined?
Product manufacturers, designers, or sellers may be held responsible in a lawsuit for personal injury or wrongful death when their products have design defects, manufacturing defects, or they do not have adequate warnings or instructions:
- Design defects — Design defects exist when there is an alternative design that would be safer than the one manufactured that is not overly costly, that is practical and that has the same primary purpose as the original dangerous design.
- Manufacturing defects — Manufacturing defects exist when the resulting design is different from the intended design, the product is poorly made, there are worker errors, poor materials are used, or there are other errors that occur during the manufacturing process.
- Failure to warn — Manufacturers may be responsible for your injuries if the product did not contain adequate instructions or warnings of dangers of use or misuse not immediately apparent.
In addition to being strictly liable for defective products, manufacturers may also be held responsible for personal injury when a product injures you because of the manufacturer’s negligence. They may also be responsible for breach of warranty, including promises, statements, or advertisements about a product that are incorrect or untrue.

Is there a Limit on how long you can wait to sue for Product Liability?
The statute of limitations for product liability limits the time you have to start a lawsuit against manufacturers, designers, or sellers for injuries caused by defects. This time limit is two years from the date the defect occurred, the date you were injured, or the date you should have discovered an injury that was not obvious, such as an internal injury caused by a chemical or toxic substance.
