In both of those cases, you are still entitled to file a products liability lawsuit against the manufacturer. You do not need to be the original owner, or the owner at all; you just need to show that you were harmed by a defect in the product. You don't need a manufacturer's warranty, because most products sold in the United States have an implied (unspoken) warranty of fitness. However, products liability law will not compensate you for ordinary wear and tear on a product.
