Statutory remedies are often provided for defects which merely render the product unusable (and hence cause economic injury) but do not cause physical injury or damage to other property; the “economic loss rule” means that strict liability is generally unavailable for products that damage only themselves. The best known examples of consumer protection laws for product defects are lemon laws, which became widespread because automobiles are often an American citizen’s second-largest investment after buying a home.

Every type of product liability case requires different elements to be proven. The claims most commonly associated with product liability are negligence, strict liability, breach of warranty, various consumer protection claims, and product recalls. Examples of product recalls include:
