One way businesses respond to the faulty product claims

Luckily, in the UK, just as with other many other developed countries in the world, consumers injured by faulty or defective products have the recourse of a faulty product claim.

This type of contingency litigation represents something of a nightmare for many of the world's businesses, not least because it allows consumers to have relatively easy access to civil justice that, otherwise, would be unobtainable.

In response to this, businesses and corporations in the west, often in partnership with insurance representatives, are becomingly increasingly determined to fight off the possibility of a faulty product claim.

One example of this trend is the International Product Safety & Liability Prevention Association, an organisation with the stated objective: "to supply a constant stream of knowledge, current information, and resources to management teams around the world regarding product safety and product liability prevention, in an effort to help them design and manufacture safer products."

IPSLPA's members are drawn from a variety of electrical, mechanical, industrial and construction product manufacturers across the world, and it hopes to soon integrate food and drug manufacturers into its membership.

However, although the association lists among its objectives the admirable aim of helping improve product safety, it does also have a commitment to helping members present the best case in the event of facing a claim.

Of course, as no win, no fee solicitors know, some defences can involve a good deal of legal wrangling and evasive technicalities; unfortunately, sometimes at the loss of openness transparency, efficacy of resolution and, ultimately, justice.

It is up to product liability specialist lawyers to ensure against this happening.

Under the terms of the Consumer Protection Act of 1987, manufacturers are liable to pay 100 percent compensation to consumers who suffer personal injury as a direct result of using faulty and defective products.

This is underlined by the Sale of Goods Act which obliges manufacturers to ensure that products are of satisfactory quality, as described and fit for purpose.
