Manufacturers should always try their best to make their products safe for use by the people they are intended for, but occasionally something goes wrong during the assembly of an item and this can result in a faulty product claim being made.
Often, product liability cases focus on children's toys since infants are highly susceptible to injury and manufacturing firms must give extra thought as to how young children interact with objects – investigating items with their delicate fingers or putting things in their mouths.
Children do not have the same knowledge of risk as adults do and so companies which make toys for them should be sure they take into account what might hurt an inquisitive child, removing as many potential risks to an infant as is reasonably possible.
However, it is not only children who can suffer personal injury through a faulty product. Claims can also be made by adults if they have been injured by an item in a non-fault accident.
Compensation claims may occur if an item which is meant to support an adult's weight breaks in use and causes the individual harm, or if an electrical item is badly wired and causes fire or electric shock, for example. Another of the many reasons for legal action may be if a product has sharp edges which cause cuts or lacerations.
Faulty product claims can only be made if a person's injuries were not their fault. If a victim becomes hurt after using a product for something which it was not meant to be used for, or in a fashion which was not stated on its packaging as being safe, it is likely that the company will not be found liable since it was not an inherent fault in the product which caused the customer's injuries.
On the other hand, if an item purchased does not have warnings or instructions, or is poorly made, a product liability or faulty product claim could be made against the manufacturer if someone suffers personal injury from the merchandise.
If a fault is found which has the potential to cause further compensation claims being made, firms often deicide to recall the product from all shops so that no one else is harmed by the offending item.
