Product liability law grew out of the notion of protecting consumers

Product liability law grew out of the notion of protecting consumers from deceptive advertisements of products and products that are unsafe and dangerous in the marketplace. Lawsuits for product liability actions are rooted in contract law and tort law. If a business sells a dangerous or defective product that can cause injuries to a customer, it creates a risk for legal action that could cost a lot of money. If a manufacturer's advertising results in deception and a breach of an expressed warranty or implied warrant, legal action can also result.
