In New York, the law on product liability is very complicated. To boil it down, if you are injured by a defectively designed or a defectively manufactured product, you might very well have a case. It would be a case against the store where you purchased the product, the distributor, and the manufacturer. In other words, any entity that put this product into the stream of commerce will most likely be held liable for your injury. It’s not necessary to prove negligence. The case is strictly based on the defective product. Product liability is a strict liability theory. You have to prove that the product was dangerously designed or manufactured differently than designed.
