Identifying Who Can Be Held Accountable for Your InjuriesIn today’s global economy, most consumer products are manufactured outside of the U.S. and shipped to domestic retailers. Companies like Walmart, Target and Home Depot have contracts with manufacturers all over the world to supply them with consumer goods.
Thankfully, under California product liability law, retail stores are just as liable for injuries caused by the products they sell as the manufacturers who make them.
Distributors and anyone else in what lawyers call the “chain of commerce” are also liable for injuries caused by their products. That gives them a major motivation to inspect products and cut ties with manufacturers with poor safety records.
Consumers should follow reasonable instructions when they use products. However, manufacturers must also be reasonable in their expectations of how people will use their products. This is particularly an issue when it comes to children's toys.

Other injuries are caused when products are designed safely but manufactured improperly. In both scenarios, all the responsible parties can be held accountable under product liability law.
