Abstract

The author examines the tort law surrounding manufacturers' post-sale duty to warn consumers of product risks or defects. Using examples and possible scenarios, the author argues that liability based on inadequate warnings at the point of sale should not be imposed if the risk could be neither known nor anticipated. The author also addresses post-sale failure to warn and recall.
