Products liability

"As with the prior editions of this book, we seek to focus on the major products liability issues that exist today. While we hope to provide a flavor of the history and development of products liability, there has been enormous change in the decades since the American Law Institute adopted ʹ 402A in 1964. This book emphasizes the issues of the modern day, including the law that developed and is reflected in the Restatement (Third) of Torts: Products Liability, the trend toward comparative responsibility for apportionment of liability among all parties, reflected in the Restatement (Third) of Torts: Apportionment of Liability, the growth of toxic substances litigation, with its attendant scientific evidence and expert witness issues, and the procedural issues reflected in modern mass products liability litigation. Beyond providing students familiarity with these doctrinal developments, we hope to facilitate students' honing their legal reasoning skills". -- PREFACE.
