| | Product liability - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
| | Critics argue that strict liability for defective products is an extremely harsh doctrine that imposes high liability costs upon anyone in the chain of commerce whom it attaches to, resulting in overdeterrence and stifling of product innovation. | | | Supporters of strict liability for defective products argue that that it is the only way to ensure that manufacturers, wholesalers, and retailers will always take all reasonable measures to protect the consumer. | | | Product liability encompasses a number of legal claims that allow an injured party to recover financial compensation from the manufacturer or seller of a product. |
