The definition of a product liability action has been specified by the Colorado Legislature.

Section 13-21-401(2) defines “product liability action" as any action brought against a manufacturer or seller of a product, regardless of the substantive legal theory or theories upon which the action is brought, for or on account of personal injury, death, or property damage caused by or resulting from the manufacture, construction, design, formula, installation, preparation, assembly, testing, packaging, labeling, or sale of any product, or the failure to warn or protect against a danger or hazard in the use, misuse, or unintended use of any product, or the failure to provide proper instructions for the use of any product.

There are numerous theories upon which liability for injuries caused by defective products can be based, and numerous defenses to those theories. We have experience in identifying the theories upon which liability may be based, as well as the defenses that may exist.
