Products liability refers to the area of tort law holding manufacturers, sellers, and suppliers of products liable for injuries caused by their products. Products liability actions arise when a product is defective and causes injury or harm to a user or consumer of that product. Products liability actions can be brought under a variety of legal theories, including negligence, strict liability, and breach of warranty.
