UK product liability claims are mainly covered by the Consumer Protection Act 1987, which holds manufacturers strictly liable if a product is defective and causes injury. This means the injured person does not need to prove negligence—only that the product was unsafe and caused harm. Other laws like the Sale of Goods Act and Consumer Rights Act 2015 also protect buyers by ensuring products must be safe, fit for purpose, and of acceptable quality.

These legal protections give consumers a clear path to claim compensation for medical costs, loss of earnings, or long-term suffering. They also allow injured individuals to seek expert support from barristers product liability claims specialists, who can help gather evidence, assess fault, and strengthen the case. Together, these laws ensure that unsafe products are challenged and victims get the justice they deserve.
