products liability and defective products

In Kentucky, product liability actions include any claims brought for or on account personal injury, death, or property damage caused by the manufacture, construction, design, formulation, development of standards, preparation, processing, assembly, testing, listing, certifying, warning, instructing, marketing, advertising, packaging or labeling of any product.  These cases are governed by the Kentucky Product Liability Act.  

Product liability claims are most often brought as a result of manufacturing defects, design defects, or for a failure to warn of a product's dangerous propensities.  If a product is determined to be defective under any theory, the manufacturer is strictly liable for the damages sustained by the injured party.  The victim of a defective product can recover damages for lost wages, destructions or impairment of earning capacity, medical expenses, and pain and suffering resulting from their injuries.       ​
