The phrase "products liability" is used to describe situations in which a person or property is injured or damaged in some way due to a defective product or service. Products liability is not a legal theory like strict liability, negligence, or intentional torts, rather the phrase simply means that the supplier, manufacturer, retailer, or other provider of a product or service may be liable for any injury or damage caused by such product or service. People can recover damages when they are injured by a defective or faulty product. Generally, an injured party can sue and recover from any seller in the distribution chain. Thus, the manufacturer, distributor, and even the retailer are potentially liable for product-caused injuries. Below is a sampling of products that may result in injury or death for which another party may be liable.
Airplanes, All-Terrain Vehicles, Asbestos, Automobiles, Backhoes, Boats, Chairs, Conveyor Belts, Cranes, Elevators, Footwear, Grinders, Helicopters, Industrial Binding Machines, Industrial Dust Collectors, Industrial Machinery, Industrial Washing Equipment, Locomotives, Medical Devices, Mowers, Oilfield Equipment, Pipelines ,Pneumatic Tools, Prescription Drugs, Space Heaters, Sports Equipment, Sport Utility Vehicles, Sprayers, Tires, Tractors, Trucking Equipment, Vaccines, Winches .
