If you have suffered an injury due to use of a defective product in New York City, you are not alone. In 2004 alone, approximately 7 percent of all personal injury cases involved product liability. Manufacturers, distributors, and retailers are obligated by law to sufficiently warn consumers of potential hazards associated with the proper use of their products. When they fail to uphold this obligation and a consumer is injured, the victim may file suit to obtain damages.

Product liability law determines which party or parties are responsible for serious injuries caused by defects in a product’s design or manufacture. When a product possesses a potentially hazardous flaw that leads to consumer injury, the product’s designer, manufacturer, distributor, and retailer can be held liable for the injury. There is no federal product liability law, and claims are generally based on state laws pertaining to liability and breach of warranty. Responsible parties can be charged with negligence, failure to warn of the potential for harm, sale of a product with a manufacturing defect or design defect, and a number of other charges.

Compensation for an injury caused by a defective product depends on several factors, including the cause of the injury and the victim’s role in the accident (e.g., whether he or she was using the product in a manner consistent with its labeling).
