What Is Product Liability?

Product liability means that a company can be strictly liable if a consumer is injured while using a defective product. Liability is automatic, meaning that it doesn’t matter how much care or caution the company exercises as it designs, develops, tests, manufactures, or markets the product.

Liability attaches as long as there is an identifiable defect and the product is used in a reasonably foreseeable manner. The purpose of product liability laws is to encourage companies to make sure that the products they make and sell are safe for consumers. Since there’s no way to test every product before it hits the market, Nevada’s product liability laws offer some protection to consumers.

What Are the Three Main Types of Product Liability Claims?

There are three main types of product liability claims in Nevada: design defect, manufacturing defect, and marketing defect.

Design Defect

These claims involve inherently dangerous products. They pose a threat to consumers because of a problem with their design. A company could put great care into assembling, building, or creating the product safely and testing it extensively, but it wouldn’t solve the problem. The product would still be unreasonably dangerous because of a component of its design. For example, lawsuits allege that Roundup weedkiller suffers from a design defect because its main ingredient, glyphosate, is a known carcinogen. The product will be unreasonably dangerous because of its ingredients.

Marketing Defect

These claims, also known as failure to warn claims, involve products that have risks or side effects that aren’t disclosed. Companies have a duty to warn consumers about potential hazards or dangers associated with the use of a product. If a company knows or should know about a danger but doesn’t disclose it – intentionally or unintentionally – consumers can pursue compensation for a failure to warn. For example, a pharmaceutical company could be liable for failure to warn if it did not inform prospective patients about side effects that were discovered during testing. Note that these aren’t the only grounds for filing a product liability lawsuit in Nevada. Claims can also be based on negligence and breach of warranty.

Manufacturing Defect

These claims involve products that aren’t assembled or built correctly. The design, executed correctly, is safe. A danger exists because of a mistake during the manufacturing process. For example, a child’s swing set would suffer from a manufacturing defect if the company used the wrong size bolts to assemble the product.
