As a member of the European Union, Ireland benefits considerably from a range of rules and legislation on the safety of the products we use. Regardless of size or purpose, all products which are imported or made in Ireland must conform to specific regulations designed to ensure health and safety.
The Liability for Defective Goods Act 1991 implements the EC Directive 85/374, which is specifically intended to place liability on product producers in relation to dangerous and/or defective products. Additionally, anyone involved in the manufacture, supply, maintenance, installation, and servicing of products has a duty of care to reasonably prevent damage or injury as a result of the use of products.
Product liability claims typically fit into three categories – defectively manufactured products, defectively designed products, and products with insufficient warnings or instructions. If you are unsure which of these would apply in your situation, speak to one of our product liability solicitors who will be able to advise you.
