Product liability laws are in place to protect consumers in the event that they suffer personal injury from an item of merchandise.
Whether the injury occurs due to a manufacturing mistake, design flaw, lack of warning signs on the product, or after a company fails to recall a hazardous item, victims may be able to make a compensation claim for the pain and any loss of earnings they might have suffered as a result.
Companies have a duty of care to their customers that must be upheld otherwise the risk of injury or fatality is greatly increased by acts of negligence among staff.
Firms found to have breached any part of the Consumer Protection Act of 1987, which includes the European Product Safety Directive, could be fined and may have damages claims made against them if individuals suffer due to violation of regulations.
Not only does the existence of the Consumer Protection Act give people the power to claim against companies of any size if suffering has been caused by their actions or neglect, it equally means that health and safety procedures, testing, instructions and warnings are well monitored by firms which do not wish to have claims made against them. These consequences lead to an increase in product safety.
Publicised product liability cases include people being burned when spilling boiling McDonald's coffee, infants' fingers being caught in the hinges of MacLaren's pushchairs, and various recall notices made by Toyota concerning a variety of car models.
