Product Liability law is the name given to the branch of tort law that holds designers, manufacturers, and sellers liable for the harm suffered by buyers and users of defective products. A "product" can be almost anything, from an aeronautical chart to a Ziploc bag. "Defects" include flaws in the way a product is designed, manufactured, or marketed. Typical causes of action in product liability cases include strict liability (the usual theory of recovery), breach of warranty, negligence, manufacturing and design defects, and breach of the duty to warn.
