In case, if a consumer suffers grievous injuries due to faulty goods he can file a product liability suit against the manufacturer. Product liability is a collection of laws that empowers a consumer to claim compensation from the manufacturer for any physical injuries or property losses he might have suffered as a result of the use of defective or harmful products. If a manufacturer does not warn a consumer against the potential dangers of any harmful product or does not warn the customer about the precautions, and the consumer suffers as a result of this, he or she can sue the manufacturer for adequate relief under product liability. There have been instances in product liability suits where a manufacturer has not provided the customer with sufficient precautions while using a dangerous product. Consequently, customer has wrongly used the product and suffered.
