Product manufacturers of all kinds bear a responsibility to their customers. Products should be safe for use as directed. Failure to fulfill this responsibility is a case of negligence.

In general, product manufacturers bear an even greater responsibility than some other entities covered by negligence laws. While in some types of negligence the circumstances and mitigating factors involved can lessen the liability of the responsible party, under “strict liability,” responsibility is total. In effect, this means that any customer who sustains injury from using a product as directed is the responsibility of the manufacturer, regardless of how or why the product has proven dangerous.

This is important because products may become hazardous in one of three ways:

  1. Design. In this case, the design itself is flawed and products manufactured faithfully to the design will inevitably end up hazardous.
  2. Production process. The process of transferring a safe design into production is somehow flawed, and what was safe on paper is now hazardous.
  3. Production error. A safe production has a malfunction and is producing hazardous products (cross-threading bolts, for example).

Springfield MA hazardous products can affect anyone. The hazardous products that make national and international news regularly are a testament to the inevitability of Springfield MA hazardous products in a consumer world. Diligence is important for consumers and manufacturers alike.
