A. Product designers and sellers must make products safe for all foreseeable users. In many cases, this includes children likely to come into contact with the item. Potentially dangerous household products, from pain medication to detergent pods, should contain childproof caps to prevent accidental ingestion. When this isn’t possible, manufacturers must generally provide clear warnings that parents should keep products away from children.
Manufacturers could bear liability for serious child injuries and deaths when they do not take these reasonable precautions. Even when they do provide warnings, sometimes this isn’t enough. Products must also be safe for their intended use. Manufacturers cannot sell toys for young children while simultaneously warning parents about choking hazards.
