Assuming liability

Liability for harm caused by product defeat

According to the provisions of Tort Liability Law, where any harm is caused by a defective product, the victim may seek compensation from the manufacturer or the seller of the product. If the defect of the product is caused by the manufacturer and the seller has made the compensation for the defect, the seller shall be entitled to be reimbursed by the manufacturer. If the defect of the product is caused by the fault of the seller and the manufacturer has made the compensation for the defect, the manufacturer shall be entitled to be reimbursed by the seller. If the defect of a product endangers the personal or property safety of another person, the victim shall be entitled to require the manufacturer or seller to assume tort liability through, inter alia, removing the obstruction or eliminating the danger. If the defect of the product is caused by the fault of a third party, including, inter alia, carrier or warehouseman, and results in harm to another person, the manufacturer or seller of the product shall be entitled to be reimbursed by the third party for the compensation they have made.
