Product liability for US exports
Liability for defective products has become so costly in the US that it is now a major factor in manufacturers’ decisions whether to export to that country, as well as for insurers deciding whether to provide cover for the corresponding risks.
This publication aims to explain the fundamentals of US product liability as well as offer guidance – in legal as opposed to technical terms – for avoiding or minimising some of the risks associated with exporting goods to the US.
