What Is Product Liability?

A product liability lawsuit is a type of civil action typically based on negligence, strict liability, or breach of warranty. Typically, Texas product liability law covers three general categories of defective products:

  • Design defects: A design defect will affect an entire product line. A famous example is the Ford Pinto fuel tank installed in Ford vehicles from 1971-1976. The rear-mounted tank was problematic because it would easily burst into flames following any low-speed, rear-end crash. Ford was aware of the risk from crash testing but decided to manufacture the vehicles anyway. Dozens of people were killed tragically, an expensive lesson for Ford.
  • Manufacturing defects: A defect in manufacturing can affect just one product or a batch in an assembly line. A common example is the use of a wrong part, such as a screw or fastener. Contamination can also be the basis of a lawsuit, such as baby food products tainted with the presence of heavy metals.
  • Failure to warn: If adequate warnings or instructions on how to safely use a product are not included, a product manufacturer may be liable.

Common Types of Product Liability Claims

Claims may be brought against manufacturers of a wide array of dangerous and defective products, including:

  • Auto parts and automobiles: If a car accident is determined to be caused by a manufacturing or design defect (even just a single part), a claim would be directed at the manufacturer.
  • Defective drugs: Dozens of medications have not worked as prescribed, or caused cancer or other complications. Many defective drug claims are based on failure to warn. For example, more than 1,000 claims were brought against erectile dysfunction manufacturer Viagra for failing to warn that the drug is linked with an increased risk of developing melanoma (a form of skin cancer).
  • Medical devices: From hip implants to defibrillators to contraceptive devices, and single use devices like catheters and hypodermic needles, defects in medical devices can cause devastating physical harm
  • Children's products: Infants and toddlers are especially vulnerable to harm from products, especially if they are choking hazards. Children's products (intended primarily for children 12 years of age or younger) are subject to a set of federal safety regulations overseen by the Consumer Products Safety Commission.
  • Household cleaning products: Many cleaning product manufacturers have been sued by consumers harmed by toxic ingredients. Recently, some people have filed claims after using cleaning agents marketed as "non-toxic" and suffering irreversible damage to their health.
  • Defective appliances: Injured by a water heater, a gas grill, a waffle iron, or a blender? If a defect caused your injuries, you may be entitled to compensation.

Damages You Can Recover in Texas Product Liability Cases

Under the Texas Product Liability Act, you may be entitled to significant compensation in a Dallas product liability claim against a manufacturer, including:

  • Economic Damages: You may be compensated for your medical care costs and expenses, lost earnings due to being unable to work, and loss of future earning capacity. You may also be paid for damage to your property. For example, if a defective laptop caused a fire in your apartment, you may be compensated for your injuries as well as damage to your property. In wrongful death cases, economic damages also cover funeral and burial expenses.
  • Non-economic damages: You may also be compensated for losses that are not easily measured or quantified, such as physical pain and suffering, emotional distress and mental anguish, loss of limb, and scarring and disfigurement. In fatality cases, loved ones may also be compensated for the loss of love and companionship in a wrongful death claim.

In rare cases, punitive damages may be available, if the judge or jury determines the defendant should be punished. Punitive damages are typically only awarded in cases of gross negligence.

Who Can Be Held Liable for Defective Products Injuries?

More than one party may be liable for an injury or wrongful death claim - it is always advisable to speak with a knowledgeable defective products attorney about your rights. Potentially liable parties include:

  • Product manufacturers
  • Product distributors
  • Product retailers
  • Wholesalers and distributors.

Texas Product Liability Statute of Limitations

You have a limited window of time to pursue a civil claim. In Texas, this statute of limitations is generally two years - although this is "tolled" (delayed) for minors until they turn 18. It is always advisable to reach out to a product liability law firm promptly following any serious injury.
