When a product is release into the market, it has to meet at least the basic expectations of the consumer. However, if it causes injuries to the consumers, a product liability may arise. The consumer can file a lawsuit against the manufacturer including those responsible for its distribution.
However, there is not federal law that covers product liability entirely. Every state has its own laws and rules. With this, it is important that you only work with a product liability lawyer that does not only specialize in this field but also familiar with the related and applicable state laws. There are also a lot of exceptions and limitations before you can file a product liability case against a company or a manufacturer.
