Who is responsible for injuries caused by a defective product?
Basically, any entity in the production or distribution chain may be liable for injuries caused by a defective product. The manufacturer of the product may be liable for failure to safely design or manufacture the product or provide adequate instructions or warnings. Depending on the particular facts of the case, a distributor or seller of the product may also be liable for injuries to consumers who are injured by a product. If changes or repairs are made to the product, the entity that made the changes may also be held responsible.
