Defective product liability cases range from personal injury caused by defects in common consumer products to defects in equipment and sophisticated medical devices. In addition, certain products such as automobiles, medications and medical devices are subject to unique laws and regulations which only apply to these products. In the absence of such specific laws and regulations, it is up to state law to determine the liability of manufacturers of defective products. A product can be considered to be defective if it was designed or manufactured in such a manner as to have a condition that renders it unreasonably dangerous, as well as if the manufacturer failed to provide the consumer with adequate instructions or warnings of danger associated with the product. Product manufacturers also may face liability for making misrepresentations about their product. Certain products also carry with them implied or expressed warranties which may have been breached by the manufacturer.
