Earlier this year, the Florida Legislature and Governor DeSantis signed a bill related to the liability of businesses, entities, and individuals regarding COVID-19.
When a product fails and causes injury, it’s likely that the people involved in manufacturing the product can be held liable for their part in the breakdown. Product liability attaches liability to the manufacturer, seller, and distributor. In some cases, the suppliers and retailers can be held responsible for product failure.
While product liability is very broad, generally the law is limited to products that are considered a tangible personal property.
