Meaning of civil product liability

In the previous post I talked about a case of civil product liability and maybe it was not very well explained so here you have a little explication about civil product liability:

The word liability means responsibility for the damage presumed by the applicant and the damages suffered. A person found liable in a civil action, upon a verdict in favor of the applicant, must pay whatever damages to the applicant. 

The civil liability of manufacturers, suppliers and other players is the personal injury or damage to a property caused by a defective product. Product liability law can be split into 3 regimes: contractual liability; common law tort of negligence (fault-based liability); and statutory strict liability.

Under the law, a person who suffered injury caused by an unsafe product can only sue under contract or negligence. If there is no contractual relationship between the two parties, the injured person is denied a contractual claim.
