[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text css=”.vc_custom_1697615094978{padding-top: 10px !important;}”]In product liability law, the liability of manufacturers for products arises, on the one hand, from the general regulations of tort law, so-called \u201cproducer liability\u201d. The manufacturer of a product is subject to traffic safety obligations; before bringing a product onto the market, he must thoroughly check whether there are any dangers arising from the use of the product. Liability therefore follows from Sections 823 ff. of the Civil Code. Case law has developed case groups in product liability law for tortious producer liability: design errors, manufacturing errors, instruction errors, product observation errors. In product liability law, relief for the manufacturer is usually only possible in the case of manufacturing defects, provided the manufacturer proves that it was merely an \u201coutlier\u201d.<\/p>\n

[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text css=”.vc_custom_1697615101163{padding-top: 10px !important;}”]On the other hand, the legislature created the Product Liability Act, which serves to implement an EU directive to standardize product liability law at the European level. In contrast to tortious producer liability, liability under the Product Liability Act is independent of fault. However, the Product Liability Act contains several exclusions of liability for the manufacturer, see Section 1 II ProdHaftG, and contains some weaknesses compared to tortious liability in product liability law (e.g. a maximum liability limit or a deductible in the event of damage to property).[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text css=”.vc_custom_1697615109641{padding-top: 10px !important;}”]In product liability law, not only the producer himself, but also the quasi-manufacturer, the importer from third countries or the supplier come into consideration, see Section 4 ProdHaftG.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row triangle_shape=”no” css=”.vc_custom_1697799452596{padding-top: 30px !important;}” el_class=”all-least-pages”][vc_column][vc_row_inner css=”.vc_custom_1697455935676{padding-bottom: 10px !important;}”][vc_column_inner width=”1\/2″]\n
