Product Liability Law
California's product liability laws hold manufacturers, wholesalers, distributors, and retailers accountable to those who suffer injuries from unsafe products. Products must be designed in a way that is safe for consumers to use. And warnings must be given to alert consumers to potential problems.
Victims of unsafe products have rights. Victims have the right to be "made whole" again-to recover for all harms suffered. Harms include past and future medical expenses, past and future lost wages, and other out-of-pocket expenses. The harms also include past and future physical pain, mental suffering, diminished quality of life, disfigurement, physical impairment, inconvenience, grief, anxiety, humiliation, and emotional distress.
