Understanding Product Liability Law in Austin and Texas
In Austin, as throughout Texas, product liability law holds manufacturers, distributors, sellers, and sometimes designers responsible for harm caused by defective products. The goal is to protect consumers by requiring that products sold are safe when used as intended or in a reasonably foreseeable manner.
Examples of products that potentially cause injury include automobiles, household appliances, power tools, pharmaceuticals, children’s toys, medical devices, and many others. In product liability claims, local knowledge of Texas laws and communities plays a vital role in winning cases and securing fair compensation.
Three Primary Types of Product Liability Claims
Product liability cases typically revolve around proving one or more of the following defects:
Design Defects
A design defect exists when a product’s blueprint or intended design makes it inherently unsafe—even if the item is manufactured perfectly. For example, a car model prone to rollover accidents due to unstable design may be considered defective. Plaintiffs must often show safer alternative designs were available that would have reduced harm.
Manufacturing Defects
Manufacturing defects occur during the fabrication or assembly process, creating flaws that make individual products unsafe. For instance, a batch of contaminated medication or a power tool with faulty wiring exemplifies manufacturing defects. These defects affect only certain units rather than the entire product line.
Failure to Warn or Marketing Defects
This type involves insufficient or missing instructions, labels, or warnings about risks associated with product use. Examples include power tools that omit safety warnings or pharmaceuticals that fail to disclose serious side effects. Manufacturers and sellers have a legal duty to provide clear guidance to prevent misuse or injury.
