Existing law requires that a manufacturer or seller not be held liable in a product liability action if the product is inherently unsafe and the product is known to be unsafe by the ordinary consumer who consumes the product with the ordinary knowledge common to the community and the product is a common consumer product intended for personal consumption, as specified.
This bill would require a marketplace, as defined, that is an electronic place or internet website to be held strictly liable, subject to certain exceptions, for all damages proximately caused by defective products to the same extent as a retailer that is not an electronic place or internet website.
