Defect Liability Theory

Defect Liability Theory refers to the legal concept that ensures manufacturers or builders are responsible for fixing defects in their products or constructions for a certain period after delivery. This framework protects consumers by holding sellers accountable for issues arising from poor workmanship or materials. If defects occur, the responsible party must repair or replace the faulty item at no additional cost. This theory helps maintain quality standards in goods and services, ensuring that consumers receive what they pay for and have recourse when problems arise within the liability period.
