Product Liability in Utah

Utah follows a combination of strict liability, negligence, and breach of warranty theories for product liability claims. Under strict liability, you can be held responsible for product injuries even if you weren't negligent. Utah has a statute of limitations of two years for product liability claims, but the statute of repose is six years for product sellers and ten years for manufacturers. Product liability coverage is often included in your general liability policy under 'products and completed operations,' but the limits may not be adequate for businesses with significant product exposure.

Common Questions

Yes. Under Utah law, retailers can be held liable for product defects even if they didn't manufacture the product. Product liability applies to everyone in the distribution chain.

Standard product liability covers injury claims. Product recall coverage — which pays for the cost of actually recalling products — is a separate coverage that can be added.
