Who Can Be Found Negligent In A Defective Product Lawsuit?
Product liability laws make it difficult for plaintiffs to seek compensation from all liable parties that caused injuries. Initially, individuals could file defective product lawsuits against all responsible parties from the manufacturer to the parties responsible for delivering the product to the final consumer. Today, nearly all defective product claims must seek compensation for injuries and damages from the manufacturer.
In other states, distributors, sellers, and retailers can be held liable for defective products. These parties can only be held responsible if they participate in the assembly or manufacture of the final product. The actions of these parties should have led to the product’s defect. The party should have had significant control over manufacturing, packaging, testing, or designing the final product. This, in turn, affects the condition of the product.
Manufacturing Defects
This relates to the particular development of a product in a workshop or factory. A product may be perfectly designed, but an error on the factory floor may cause an unintended defect. Such mishaps may end up affecting a specific batch of products.
Design Defects
These defects are more complicated since you have to prove there was a reasonable substitute design that the manufacturer could have used. Manufacturing feasibility, product safety, production cost, and aesthetics are some factors that are considered when looking into an alternative design.
Marketing Defects
Also known as “Failure to warn”, these defects are based on inadequate or misleading instructions or labeling. Here, the manufacturer disregards explaining the possible dangers of using the product.
What Damages Can I Get From A Defective Product Lawsuit?
Under the Extended Manufacturer’s Liability Doctrine, you can recover damages for personal injuries caused by the use of a defective product in some states. You can get compensation in a defective product case due to breach of warranty or negligence of the at-fault party.
You can be awarded compensatory damages for injuries sustained from the use of a defective product. At Hare, Wynn, Newell, & Newton, our product liability lawyers can help you get compensation for economic and non-economic damages. Economic damages are calculable damages, including lost income, property damage, and medical expenses. Non-economic damages, on the other hand, are more subjective forms of harm like pain and suffering, emotional distress, loss of companionship, and decreased quality of life.
It is prudent to punish wrongdoers who cause injuries to consumers. This will help deter them from taking similar actions in the future. Punitive damages can only be awarded under certain circumstances. This can vary by state.

Types Of Defective Product Cases We Handle
At Hare, Wynn, Newell, & Newton, we handle all types of defective product claims regardless of your injuries’ scope and size. Here are some common types of defective product cases we handle:
3M Dust Masks
Workers in the coal mining industry are eligible for financial compensation if they are diagnosed with black lung disease. The inhalation of coal dust causes this disease. 3M knowingly sold defective dust masks to coal mine workers resulting in negligence, breach of warranty, and product liability. The disease also affected metal miners and other industrial employees in dust-filled environments.
Talcum Powder
For a long time, talcum powder was used to keep the skin dry and prevent chafing. It was even used on baby skin. Discoveries have, however, been made in recent years linking this powder to ovarian cancer. The risk of ovarian cancer increased when women used this powder in the genital region. Talcum powder particles travel from the vagina to the ovaries, where they dissolve and cause inflammation. It takes years for these particles to dissolve.
The negligent actions of the manufacturer of talcum powder, Johnson & Johnson, put women at risk. Johnson & Johnson did nothing after receiving mounting evidence of serious health complications. They didn’t put any warning labels on the powder or completely remove the product from retail outlets and they are now facing numerous lawsuits regarding their talcum powder.
Roundup
Medical studies have shown that Roundup increases cancer risk by 41%. Individuals exposed to this popular weed killer risk developing non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma. Landscapers, farmworkers, and nursery employees are more susceptible to developing serious complications. Roundup lawsuits across the country have been successful at holding Monsanto accountable for their actions in injuring people across the country.
