Software vendor liability is the issue of product liability for software bugs that cause harm, such as security bugs[1] or bugs causing medical errors.
[2] For the most part, this liability does not exist in the United States.
[3][4][5] The possibility of liability is excluded for most software in the European Union Product Liability Directive 1985 but is explicitly provided for in the update issued in 2024.
