In 1963, the California Supreme Court decided Greenman v. Yuba Power establishing for the first time the law of strict product liability. Coupled with more traditional negligence and warranty liability theories, products liability law has expanded dramatically as has the amount of litigation filed against manufacturers, suppliers and distributors. Stammer, McKnight, Barnum & Bailey LLP, a full service law firm, has decades of experience handling cases involving products such as tractors and other agricultural equipment, manufacturing machinery, household appliances and fixtures, electrical devices, tools, dry cleaning equipment, chemicals, tires and other automotive products, food and beverage items, and cosmetics.

We understand that product defect cases often represent a direct challenge to the integrity of a manufacturer's product and have serious implications relating to other litigation against the manufacturer, supplier, and distributor as well as to the reputation of the manufacturer's product line. Our attorneys are knowledgeable about the specialized legal and practical issues presented in products liability cases.
