In product liability cases, the manufacturer is held responsible for the faulty product in which they are responsible for recalling faulty products from the market and informing consumers, suppliers, and retailers of the faulty products and there are three types of product defects that can result in product liability cases: Design defects, Manufacturing defects, and Marketing defects.A defendant is liable when the plaintiff proves that the product is defective, regardless of the defendant's intent. It is irrelevant whether the manufacturer or supplier exercised great care; if there is a defect in the product that causes harm, he or she will be liable for it
