Products are not required, however, to be designed or produced with features representing the ultimate in safety. See below for information on warnings and warranties. If a product is inherently dangerous and the danger is not obvious, the supplier must adequately warn of the foreseeable risks of using the product. If the supplier fails to warn of such risks, a claim can be brought for the failure to warn. If the danger is obvious, there is no duty to warn.
Many products come with express warranties.
In some circumstances, statements made about the quality or characteristics of a product in advertising literature or sales negotiations will be deemed to be an express warranty. If you are harmed by a product because of a feature that did not live up to its warranty you may have a valid claim. In addition in most sales and leasing situations, a warranty is implied that the product is reasonably safe for their intended use and other reasonably foreseeable purposes. If a product is sold or leased in an unreasonably dangerous then there is a breach of this implied warranty and you may have a valid claim. Virginia law requires a buyer to notify the seller of a product of any product defect within a reasonable time after the buyer discovers or should have discovered the defect.
