Product Liability FAQ
Strict liability is a legal rule that removes the need to prove a manufacturer was careless or "negligent." In simple terms, if a product is defective and injures you, the manufacturer is liable even if they used the highest quality safety procedures and had no intention of causing harm. This doctrine, widely applied in the US and under the UK's Consumer Protection Act 1987, shifts the burden of risk onto companies rather than consumers. It essentially means that profit-making entities must bear the cost of the injuries their products cause, regardless of how careful they tried to be.
