Product liability claims are generally of three types, they are: negligence, strict liability or breach of warranty.
A designer, manufacturer or marketer, as the case maybe, of a product is negligent, and thus liable, if he did not ensure that the product is fit for its intended use. He is also negligent if he fails to exercise that reasonable degree of care to perceive the defect in his product.
Under the strict liability on the other hand, the designer, manufacturer or distributor is liable if the product was established to be defective irrespective of whether or not he exercise reasonable degree of care required by law. Meaning, he is liable even if he was not negligent for as long as the product turned out defective.
In breach of warranty, the designer, manufacturer or distributor is liable if he violates the warranties that naturally go with his product.
These warranties can be either express or implied.
