Is there such a thing as federal product defect law?
A. Although there are federal guidelines that companies must adhere to, there is no body of law known as “federal product defect law.” State laws are the basis for product defect claims. These include negligence, breach of warranty, and strict liability claims. In turn, states do model their commercial statutes on the Uniform Commercial Code, a federal code for law that evaluates how warranties can affect product liability.
