Manufacturer Liability

Manufacturer Liability refers to the legal responsibility borne by a manufacturer for personal injury or property damage caused by defects in products they have designed, produced, or assembled. Under the Australian Consumer Law, manufacturers have strict liability for goods with safety defects. This liability cannot be excluded by contract and may result in claims for compensation, damages, and in severe cases, criminal penalties for non-compliance with safety standards.
