About
If you have been injured by a defective product, it is likely that the manufacturer, distributor, supplier or retailers will be held liable for any damage or your injuries.
The emphasis on the words "any damage" also means that it is not necessary to prove that you purchased the product, instead demonstrating that the product simply caused the damage or injury you allege.
Under the 1987 Consumer Protection Act there is a strict liability test imposing liability on the defendant if injury, damage or death was caused by a defective product.

What defects can I claim for?
A product is defective if the safety of the product is not as you would normally expect.
When determining what you would normally be entitled to expect, the following factors are taken into consideration:
- How has the product has been marketed? Things like the packaging, the use of a mark, any warnings on the product and instructions will be taken into account.
- Were there warning labels or instructions provided with the product?
- How would the product reasonably be expected to be used?
- Would you have reasonably expected the safety of the product to have deteriorated after a period of time?
