Establishing Distributor and Retail Responsibility
Products liability law does not only cover manufacturers. Anyone within the so-called "stream of commerce" before a product reaches the consumer may have some extent of liability for dangerous defects.
These days, many products are manufactured in other countries, and the manufacturers appear to be out of reach of the California and federal courts.
A distributor and/or retail store, however, may be liable if a product manufactured elsewhere injures a consumer. That is because it is often reasonable to expect that they will inspect their products and only sell those that prove to be safe.
