Over the years, individuals have demanded stricter laws to protect them from faulty products. Consumer protection statutes have been enacted in most countries. Manufacturers, wholesalers, and retailers are generally responsible to the user of a product if he or she is harmed by it. Three theories of liability have been established:
- Absolute or strict liability
- Negligence
- Breach of warranty (express or implied) and misrepresentation.
