Under Ohio law, a person who gets hurt while using or exposed to a defective or dangerous product may have the right to seek compensation for their injuries and losses in a product liability claim. Products can suffer from several types of defects, including:
Design defect: A product may suffer from a design defect when the foreseeable risks associated with its design exceed its benefits, and the manufacturer had feasible alternative designs to choose from that would have prevented the risks without substantially impairing the product’s usefulness.
Manufacturing defect: A manufacturing defect occurs when a product materially deviates from its design specifications and thus creates a risk of harm from intended or foreseeable uses.
Failure to warn: Also called an informational or marketing defect, a failure to warn occurs when a product has inadequate instructions or warnings concerning the product’s inherent dangerousness or safe use, unless the hazard represents an open and obvious risk.
Failure to conform: An injured consumer may have a product liability claim when an accident with a product occurs due to the product’s failure to confirm with a manufacturer’s or retailer’s express warranties.
In a product liability case, you may have claims against the various companies in the chain of commerce to bring the dangerous product that injured you to market. Parties who may bear liability in a defective product claim include:
The product’s designers
The product’s manufacturers, including manufacturers of components used in final assembly
Distributors and wholesalers who distributed the product despite knowing of its defects or dangerousness
The product’s retailer, if the retailer knowingly sells a defective product or fails to provide adequate instructions/warnings for a potentially dangerous product

A defective product claim can allow you to pursue financial relief for various losses you incur due to injuries caused by a dangerous product, including for:
Costs of medical treatment and rehabilitation
Long-term disability expenses, including home health services, durable medical equipment purchases, or home renovations to install disability accommodations
Ongoing and future losses of wages/income from missed work or prolonged disability from employment
Physical pain caused by injuries and subsequent medical treatments
Emotional trauma and distress from the accident or reduced quality of life caused by disabilities or severe, visible scarring/disfigurement
Under Ohio’s statute of limitations for product liability claims, you typically have two years after suffering an injury caused by a defective product to file a lawsuit. However, when you suffer harm caused by exposure to dangerous chemical products, you have two years from the date that your medical providers diagnose you with a condition that they identify as caused by such exposure.
Furthermore, the statute of repose may limit you to filing a lawsuit no later than ten years after the manufacturer delivered the product to its first purchaser (unless the product had a warranty longer than ten years). Because various factors can affect the deadline for filing a product liability claim in Ohio, you can best protect your rights to seek compensation by speaking with a defective product lawyer from Oliver Law Firm as soon as possible after sustaining an injury.
