Spanish term or phrase: responsabilidad civil por producto a la compania Boeing
Hi,

My translation is a legal text describing a lawsuit. So far, I would translate responsabilidad civil por producto as "product liability" but I am not sure how to put in the company part...
The whole text says: Argumentan en su demanda: a) negligencia de los demandados b) responsabilidad civil por producto a la Boeing compania.
(So far I have: In their lawsuit they claim a) negligence of the defendants b) product responsibility on the part of Boeing)
Any suggestions? Can anyone tell me what product responsibility is exactly? (The lawsuit is about an airplane that crashed, injuring the passengers)
Thanks!!

PRODUCT LIABILITY is the responsibility of a manufacturer or vendor of goods to compensate for injury caused by defective merchandise that it has provided for sale.

When individuals are harmed by an unsafe product, they may have a Cause of Action against the persons who designed, manufactured, sold, or furnished that product. In the United States, some consumers have hailed the rapid growth of product liability litigation as an effective tool for Consumer Protection. The law has changed from caveat emptor ("let the buyer beware") to Strict Liability for manufacturing defects that make a product unreasonably dangerous. Manufacturers and others who distribute and sell goods argue that product liability verdicts have enriched plaintiffs' attorneys and added to the cost of goods sold. Businesses have sought tort reform from state legislatures and Congress in hopes of reducing damage awards that sometimes reach millions of dollars.

STRICT LIABILITY: The rule of strict liability applied in product liability suits makes a seller responsible for all defective items that unreasonably threaten the personal safety of a consumer or the consumer's property. The vendor is liable if he or she regularly engaged in the business of selling such products, which reach the consumer without any substantial changes having been made in their condition. The vendor is liable even if he or she exercised care in handling the product and if the consumer bought the product somewhere else and had no direct dealings with the vendor. (same source)

products liability


Explanation:
Products liability refers to the liability of any or all parties along the chain of manufacture of any product for damage caused by that product. This includes the manufacturer of component parts (at the top of the chain), an assembling manufacturer, the wholesaler, and the retail store owner (at the bottom of the chain). Products containing inherent defects that cause harm to a consumer of the product, or someone to whom the product was loaned, given, etc., can be subject to products liability lawsuits.
