Mastering Products Liability is a clear, concise discussion of the law of products liability. It contains a short history of the development of that area, but focuses on the current controversies, such as:
- The Second Restatement of Torts versus the Third Restatement of Torts: Products Liability
- Strict liability versus a return to negligence-based liability
- Role of judge versus role of jury
- Consumer expectations test versus foreign-natural test for food
- Consumer expectations test versus reasonable alternative design test for other products
- Frye, Daubert, the Federal Rules of Evidence, and epidemiology
- Defendants in bankruptcy protection and the Texas two-step
- Scope of pre-emption
- The constitutionality of statutes of repose on their face and as-applied
- Comparative fault pled by plaintiffs
This work will not only be an invaluable resource for students taking a course in products liability, but will also provide valuable information for students covering the products liability material in the basic torts class.
