Pennsylvania Product Liability Law
Product liability is that branch of the law that deals
with the protection of victims of accidents involving the
use of or exposure to all types of products – from
household to industrial. For example, a product liability
case may arise from the use of a common household product,
such as a dishwasher or clothes dryer – or an industrial
machine such as a punch press.
Moreover, a product liability case can even arise in the
context of a motor vehicle accident. Thus, if you are
injured in a motor vehicle accident and your injuries are
more severe than they otherwise would have been if your
vehicle had been “crashworthy” (equipped with all the
commonly accepted features that are required to be
designed into an automobile to protect the occupants
thereof) there may be a basis for a product liability
action.
Product liability law does not so much focus on
negligence, as it does on the condition of a product at
the time it left the hands of the manufacturer or seller.
Under Pennsylvania law, the Courts look to whether the
product was “defective” at the time it left the hands of
the manufacturer or seller. The term “defective” is
generally considered to mean whether the product was
equipped with every element necessary to make it safe for
its intended use, or, conversely whether it was equipped
with any element which made it unsafe for its intended
use.
A product can be defective if it is improperly designed,
improperly manufactured (is not manufactured in accordance
with manufacturing standards) or does not come equipped
with adequate warnings.
