About this statute

This section says the law applies to compensation for damage caused by a product to a person or to certain private-use property, and it defines “product” and “subproduct.” The law does not apply to damage a product causes to itself, damage a component product causes to the product in specified circumstances, or damage covered by the atomic liability law. Damages must be paid for harm caused by a product that was not as safe as could be expected. Den skadelidande måste bevisa skadan, säkerhetsbristen och sambandet mellan säkerhetsbristen och skadan. Om skada uppstått på grund av en säkerhetsbrist i en delprodukt, anses både delprodukten och produkten ha orsakat skadan. This section lists who can be liable for damages for a harmful product: the manufacturer, certain importers, and a person marketing it as their own if it carries their name, brand, or other distinguishing mark.
