Common types of product liability cases are design defects, manufacturing defects, failure to warn, and marketing misrepresentation. Responsible parties in a claim may be the manufacturers, wholesalers, distributors, or retailers, depending on the facts of the case. For example, there may be a design defect in a product causing harm to consumers. Or there may have been negligence in the manufacturing process. The distributor, wholesaler, or retailer may have made mistakes when they handled the product, causing harm to consumers. In many cases, there may be more than one defendant, and each is jointly and severally liable for a damage award.
