Liability without Fault
Whether the product defects liability case is an unplanned or planned defect, either way you stack it, it is still a defect. If the product defect has caused an injury, then the court will need to look into the product defect liability a bit further in order to determine that it was the product that was defective and caused the injury. Many manufacturers are being fined each year because of products defect liability cases and the courts make sure that they manufacturers are the ones to blame and not the consumer. In some of the products defect liability cases, it was the consumers fault and not the manufacturers fault. If the manufacturer finds that there are products that are defect, then they will immediately have a recall on the product that is defected.
If the product is a manufacturing defect, then the parts are not on the product when they should be or there are too many parts on the product. Even if the manufacturer was really careful while they were manufacturing the product, not matter what they did or how cautious they were, since they are the ones that manufactured the product, under product liability, there are the ones that are held responsible for the cases. In many cases, product defect liability is also known as a liability without fault, because that is just what it is. The court believes that liability without fault will encourage higher standards on safety than a fault-based system of liability. This case could actually raise the price of the products, but at least they are safe products.
