About product liability in Kansas & Missouri
In both Kansas and Missouri, products are required to meet certain safety expectations by law. If a dangerous design, product defect, or manufacture error results in an injury, the manufacturer can be held liable for damages.
Under Kansas & Missouri law, product liability claims can be filed under strict liability if each of the following has occurred:
- The defendant transferred the product in the course of their business.
- The product was used within reason.
- One or both of the following is true:
- The product was in a condition that was defective and when used within reason led to an injury to the individual using the product.
- The product was unreasonably dangerous and sold without adequate warning, as a result leading to the end consumer suffering injuries.
This law allows those who have been injured as a result of product use to hold manufacturers, sellers, and third-party assemblers accountable for putting dangerous and defective products on the market.
Additionally, product liability claims may fall under the following types of liability:
- Manufacturing defects: Those that occur as a result of the manufacturing process, which may involve poor craftsmanship or low-quality materials.
- Design defects: Occur where the product design is inherently dangerous or defective (no matter the quality of manufacturing).
- Failure-to-warn defects: May be present in products that carry non-obvious dangers (such as those without sufficient labels or instructions that would otherwise prevent injury).
