The defendant of a product liability case will have several defenses. For instance, when it can be shown that the product was substantial altered after it left the manufacturer’s control, the alterations were not foreseeable to the manufacturer and the alterations were a superseding cause of the consumer’s injury, the manufacturer may be able to avoid his or her liability in relation to the product. Also, traditional tort law defenses such as voluntary assumption of risks may also be available to the manufacturer.
