Product Liability Terms and Definitions

Prescription Drug Any donated, previously dispensed, prescription drug Shall not have been adulterated, misbranded, or stored under conditions contrary to standards established by the United States Pharmacopoeia or the product manufacturer. Design Defect If the actual design of a product makes it unreasonably dangerous, then every product with that design is defective. For example, the poor design of the Ford Pinto is what made it defective, and because the design was common to all Pintos, they were all defective in design. Product Liability Fairness Act Allows unimpaired victims of asbestos exposure to be reimbursed for some medical monitoring costs Torts law A civil wrong or breach of a duty to another person, as outlined by law. A very common tort is negligent operation of a motor vehicle that results in property damage and personal injury in an automobile accident. Strict Products Liability The legal liability of manufacturers and sellers to compensate buyers, users, and bystanders for damages or injuries suffered because of defects in good purchase or a tort which makes the manufacturer or seller liable if the product has a defective condition that makes it unreasonably dangerous. Unjust Enrichment The general principle of unjust enrichment is that one person should not be able unjustly to enrich himself at the expense of another. Online Pharmacies If an online pharmacy requires you to waive your legal rights in order to do business with it, reconsider your purchase. A waiver of liability should not be necessary to receive your drugs. Failure to Warn not provide adequate warnings or instructions to advise users of the product that they would have to do certain things to avoid being injured by using the product. Failure to provide adequate warnings or instructions, where they are necessary Civil Liability In a civil lawsuit, if a party is found to be at fault, that party is liable. This is equivalent to a guilty verdict in the criminal system, except that civil liability usually means that the party at fault pays money damages to the other party, whereas the guilty party in a criminal suit may have to go to prison. Goods All things (including specially manufactured goods) which are movable at the time of identification to the contract for sale other than the money in which the price is to be paid
