Who can be held liable for defective products?

Home » FAQs » Who can be held liable for defective products?

A number of parties can be held liable in a defective product claim, including its manufacturer and retailer, as well as any distributors or wholesalers involved in its supply chain. Basically, any party involved in the chain of distribution can be held liable in a defective product, or product liability, case.

If you were injured by a component of a larger product, you should sue both that part’s manufacturer as well as the manufacturer of the entire product. You might also be able to hold the retailer of the product liable, even if you didn’t buy the product yourself or even use the product. Product liability claims are extremely complex, which is why you need only the best personal injury or mass tort lawyer in your corner when you bring your claim.
