Product Safety Standards in the United States

In the United States, laws dictate that all manufacturers must ensure that their products are safe for general use by the public. Laws also state that when a manufacturer fails to uphold this standard, they may be liable for any injuries their faulty or defective product inflicts on the user. Product liability claims fall into two categories—negligence or strict liability— depending on several factors.

Defective or Faulty Product Personal Injury Lawsuits: Negligence

In legal terms, negligence refers to a case in which a product manufacturer puts a new product out onto the market place, but it has defects or flaws. A company that does not attempt to foresee possible safety issues with its product can be held liable for injuries it causes to the user. A company may also be charged with negligence if it can be proven that they used poor quality materials or unsafe techniques when producing the item that causes an injury. Additionally, if the company does caution the public about the potential dangers of using the product, it can be held liable. Such a case might involve a drug manufacturer that does not warn consumers of the full list of side effects the drug can have. If a consumer exhibits an unexpected side effect, they may be able to sue the company for resulting medical conditions.

Defective or Faulty Product Personal Injury Lawsuits: Strict Liability

Sometimes a company produces a product that is in no way faulty or defective and meets all federal safety standards. They may even have warned consumers of potential risks involved with using the product. The problem in strict liability cases is that the product was inherently unsafe, even when used according to directions. For instance, a product called Lawn Darts—a game in which kids were supposed to throw spiky metal darts across a lawn—once entered the market. One can only imagine the injuries that ensued from use of such a hazardous product. While the Lawn Dart was manufactured properly with correct materials, and if one assumes that the packaging spoke to the risks of using the “toy,” the toy itself was inherently dangerous.
