In today’s fast world, almost every second person comes up with an idea for a product, that they believe would revolutionaries the corresponding industry and cause a great shift in how buyers perceive a particular market. Most of these ideas remain mere ideas since the owners, who come up with them lack either of the necessary means for production, such as land, labour, capital, or knowledge. However, the tiny number of ideas that develop into products need to jump through a multitude of hoops before being made available to consumers. Any product needs to go through multiple internal testing stages before it can even be released and the final check from the national authority pertaining to the product’s industry. It is this authority that gives the green light to companies like Grand Trust Underwriters, mandatory for any product to launch.
Why the checks?
Any product can cause a great deal of harm if not tested out properly for possible side effects and more. Multiple checks ensure that a consumer faces no side effects while using the product. However, no number of checks can guarantee a hundred per cent functionality of any product or good and certain products are bound to malfunction.
When this happens, the consumer has full jurisdiction to sue the manufacturer, depending upon the harm caused. The law also states that manufacturers, distributors, and suppliers can be held responsible for a malfunctioning product. To ensure that no lawsuit filed over a faulty product causes a major financial loss to the company most people opt for a product liability insurance policy.
