What Are Product Liability Lawsuits?
Product liability lawsuits generally involve allegations that a product caused injury because of a design defect, manufacturing defect, failure to warn, misleading labeling, contamination, inadequate instructions, or another safety issue.
These cases may involve consumer products, household items, industrial products, medications, medical devices, chemical products, digital platforms, tools, vehicles, equipment, or other items used by consumers, workers, patients, or families.
Common Product Liability Theories
Product liability claims can be framed in different ways depending on the product, injury, evidence, defendant, and state law.
- Design defect: allegations that the product was unsafe because of how it was designed.
- Manufacturing defect: allegations that something went wrong during production or quality control.
- Failure to warn: allegations that warnings, instructions, or labels did not adequately explain risks.
- Misleading marketing: allegations that advertising, labeling, or public statements understated risks.
- Contamination or unsafe ingredients: allegations involving harmful substances, impurities, or chemical exposure.
These are general categories. A case review request does not mean a product was defective or that a legal claim exists.

- When and how the product was used
- The injury, diagnosis, complication, or loss involved
- Medical records, receipts, photos, labels, packaging, warnings, or instructions
- Whether there were recalls, lawsuits, investigations, safety alerts, or similar reports
- Whether the product is still available, preserved, photographed, or documented
