What is Product Liability?
Product liability refers to the legal responsibility held by manufacturers, distributors, or retailers when an individual is harmed by a defective product. In Orange County, as in the rest of California, the laws governing these cases are designed to protect consumers from unsafe and dangerous products that can cause injury or even death.
The Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) is the federal agency responsible for overseeing product safety in the United States. They regulate a wide range of products, from toys and household appliances to cars and medical devices.
California also has its own state law that provides further protection for consumers. For example, the strict liability rule makes a manufacturer liable for any injuries caused by their product even if they were not negligent. This makes it easier for individuals to receive compensation for injuries caused by defective products.
Common Types of Defective Product Cases
and Product Liability Claims
California law identifies three main types of claims when you’re injured by a defective product, such as:
- Design Defects: Flaws in the product design that make it inherently unsafe.
- Manufacturing Defects: Errors that occur during the production process.
- Marketing Defects: Failure to provide adequate warnings or instructions regarding the proper use of the product.

Injured due to a defective item?
Orange County Defective Product Lawyer: FAQs
What is considered a defective and dangerous product per California law?
A defective product is any item that poses a danger to consumers when used as intended. Those who are injured due to a faulty item should seek legal help to receive compensation for their damages.
How long do I have to file a lawsuit for a defective product in Orange County?
In California, the statute of limitations for product liability cases is typically two years from the date of injury or discovery of harm caused by the product.
Can I still file a product liability claim if I got injured because I didn't read instructions?
Yes, you can still file a claim if the product was inherently dangerous or did not have sufficient warning labels. Consult with a personal injury attorney in the OC as soon as possible to verify whether or not you may be eligible for compensation.
How do you prove that the product can cause harm or is defective?
To prove a product is defective, you must show that it had a design flaw, manufacturing defect, or lacked sufficient warnings about potential dangers. This can be done through documentation, expert testimony, and other evidence gathered during an investigation.
How much does it cost to hire a product liability attorney in Orange County?
RTM Law Firm works on a contingency fee basis, meaning we only get paid if you receive compensation for your claim. This fee is usually a percentage of the amount awarded to you. We can discuss fees and payment options during the free initial consultation.
