What is Strict product liability?
While in many cases, the defense will have the opportunity to shift the blame and use excuses to argue their innocence, some products in Orange County fall under strict liability. In these cases, an accident involving these products and with sufficient evidence can be easier to handle than negligence cases. Hoover, the defendant, can argue it was a breach of warranty or negligence, which opens up their defense strategies.
Products in strict liability are:
Safety devices
Real property
Electricity
Aircraft navigational landing charts
Unnatural substances in food
Component parts
Products sold directly to consumers, like chemicals, medical equipment, weapons, explosives, and more
