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.
Burton is an unincorporated community in Wetzel County, West Virginia, United States. It was named for George Bartrug, who settled here in 1812. The name difference is due to an apparent misreading of the name by railway officials.
