Products Liability | Product Liability Class Action & Product Liability Claims

Product Liability
Products liability class actions involve claims arising out of harm resulting from the design, manufacture, and/or sale of a product. A manufacturer may be liable if it did not use reasonable care in the design, production, or assembly of its products. Additionally, a manufacturer or seller may be liable if it fails to fulfill the terms of a promise, claim or representation made concerning the quality or type of its product. Products liability class actions can also involve misrepresentations in advertising and inadequate warnings (i.e. if a manufacturer conceals potential hazards associated with their product and thereby gives a consumer a false sense of security regarding the safety of that product). Products liability class actions seek to recover damages for the harm endured (resulting from the use and/or purchase of a product) and sometimes seek to recover other amounts aimed at punishing the manufacturer for its conduct (be that design, manufacture or marketing) in respect of the product in question.

Siskinds LLP was amongst the first firms in Canada to embark upon products liability class actions and has, since that time, been successfully involved in many of these types of claims.
