Bringing the Product Liability Case: Strict Liability

Illinois case law has approved the elements in the Second Restatement of Torts as those appropriate for bringing strict liability claims in Illinois.
According to Section 402A of the Second Restatement:
(1) One who sells any product in a defective condition unreasonably dangerous to the user or consumer or to his property is subject to liability for physical harm thereby casued to the ultimate user or consumer, or to his property, if

• the seller is engaged in the business of selling such a product, and
• it is expected to and does reach the user or consumer without substantial change in which it is sold.

A product is defective when, at the time of sal or distribution it contains a manufacturing defect, is defective in design, or is defective because of inadequate instructions or warnings.
