What is a “breach of implied warranty” of product safety?

In Louisiana, a Product Liability Law is in place to protect consumers from products that lack safety. A breach of implied warranty is an act that violates the agreement between the manufacturer and the consumer of the product. This violation implies that the manufacturer has not kept their promise of ensuring that the product meets safety and quality standards. Implied warranties are those that are not expressed in writing but are understood by law to exist. An implied warranty is based on an agreement between the manufacturer and consumer that the product is safe and suitable for its intended purpose. In short, a breach of implied warranty of product safety occurs when a product does not meet the safety standards that were promised by the manufacturer. This breach can occur due to lack of safety features, incorrect or incomplete labeling, deficiencies in the manufacturing process, or other acts that create a defective product. If a consumer suffers an injury or financial loss due to a breach of implied warranty of product safety, they may be able to make a claim against the manufacturer through a Product Liability Lawsuit. It is important to note that any injury or financial loss must be a direct result of the breach in order for the lawsuit to be successful.
