Topic: Minnesota Personal Injury
Manufacturers have a duty to guarantee the safety of products consumers purchase from them. Nevertheless, thousands of people are injured every year from dangerous and defective products. This defects may be present in the product’s design, the product’s manufacture, or through product advertisements.
Although product liability claims may arise out of any product on the market, there are many products that are commonly the subject of products liability litigation, including:
Automobiles and automobile parts
Children’s toys and related items
Medicines, particularly pharmaceutical drugs
Cosmetics and other health and beauty aids
Food products
Depending upon the product involved, liability for defective products can be placed on the manufacturer of the product, the manufacturer of parts to the product, the distributer of the product, and the retailer of the product. Further, there are several products that have already been declared dangerous and are subject to recall, for which effective legal representation may be required.
