Products liability doctrine holds a manufacturer, or other party involved in selling a product, strictly liable when an article, placed into the market with knowledge that it is to be used without inspection for defects, proves to have a defect that causes a personal injury. Consumers who are injured because of a fault with a product that the consumers had no ability to protect themselves against may recover against the manufacturer under a theory of products liability.
Destrehan is a census-designated place (CDP) in St. Charles Parish, Louisiana, United States. The population was 11,260 at the 2000 census. It was named after Jean N. Destréhan (1754-1823) who served as President of the Territorial Council and was appointed to the United States Senate in 1812, but resigned before he took his seat. Destrehan Plantation, his former home, has been listed on the National Register of Historic Places. The main house has been restored and is one of the attractions on the Great River Road along the Mississippi River.
