What Law Covers a Faulty Product Claim in the UK?

Two key pieces of legislation actively protect consumers making a faulty product claim UK. The Consumer Protection Act 1987 therefore places strict liability on producers for injuries caused by defective products. Furthermore, this means you do not need to prove the manufacturer was careless  only that the product was defective. Additionally, the Consumer Rights Act 2015 provide further protection for purchasers of unsafe goods. Consequently, UK law gives injured consumers one of the strongest legal frameworks in the world to pursue compensation.

Furthermore, common claims involve electrical goods, children’s toys, food products, and medical devices. Additionally, cosmetic products, vehicle parts, and household appliances regularly give rise to successful claims. Moreover, clothing, sports equipment, and e-cigarettes have all featured in recent UK product liability cases.

What Injuries Can You Claim Compensation For?

A faulty product claim can cover a wide range of physical and psychological injuries. Therefore, never assume your harm is too minor to pursue legally. Furthermore, burns, lacerations, fractures, and electric shock injuries are all commonly claimed. Additionally, allergic reactions, food poisoning, and toxic exposure claims are also fully valid under UK product liability law. Moreover, psychological injuries, including anxiety and PTSD, resulting from a defective product incident are claimable. Consequently, lost earnings, medical treatment costs, and ongoing rehabilitation expenses all form part of your compensation entitlement.

How Long Do You Have to Make a Faulty Product Claim UK?

You generally have three years from the date of injury to start a faulty product claim UK. Therefore, acting promptly is absolutely essential from the moment your injury occurs.
