If I remember my torts course in law school correctly, defective product liability law usually only kicks in when someone is physically injured by the product.

- otterley 2mo agoIt might be that the cases we read all involved someone getting personally injured. There's nothing about the law that limits the "injury" to personal injury, though--for example, if a defective battery catches fire and burns your house down, the manufacturer and everyone in the distribution chain are on the hook.
