Products Liability: A Litigation Overview. Products liability is a complicated area of the law that governs who, when and how someone who has been harmed by the use of, or exposure to, a product can receive compensation. Products liability defendants include manufacturers, distributors, retailers and equipment refurbishers.
The duty to warn arises in product liability cases, as manufacturers can be held liable for injuries caused by their products if the product causes an injury to a consumer and the manufacturer fails to supply adequate warnings about the risks of using the product (such as side effects from pharmacy prescriptions) or if they fail to supply adequate instructions for the proper use of the product (such as a precaution to use safety glasses when using a drill).
