The Duty to Warn in Products Liability: Contours and Criticism
M. Stuart Madden · DigitalCommons@Pace (Pace University) · 1987
Although a product is unerringly designed, manufactured and assembled, injury or damage occasioned by its intended or reasonably foreseeable use may subject the seller to liability.Such liability may be found if the product has a potential for injury that is not readily apparent to the user and carries no warnings of the risk or, where appropriate, instructions as to the efficacious use of the product without harm.'The seller's obligation to warn of product hazards and to give instructions on how such hazards may be avoided is a fairly recent development in the law of tort and sales.2
