Product liability may affect any or all parties involved
in a product’s chain of manufacture. The parties in
question include retail store owners, wholesalers,
assembling manufacturers, and component part
manufacturers. While the law is traditionally viewed
as being applicable to tangible property, it also
covers intangibles, real estate, writings, and naturals.

3.  Claims of product liability may fall into a
number of categories. They may be based
on strict liability, negligence, or breach of
warranty of fitness. The applicability of a
given category depends on the jurisdiction
where the claim is based. Furthermore,
products must be shown to be defective. If
they demonstrate defects in marketing or
design, or manufacturing defects, their
manufacturers and suppliers may be held
liable.
