Torts: product liability
Posted: Thu Dec 07, 2017 10:54 pm
Hi all, quick question about product liability.
I'm confused about when to argue the 2nd Restatement versus the 3rd Restatement in a prima facie products liability case. Should we be arguing both in the alternative for the plaintiff, or should we argue the 2nd for the plaintiff and use the 3rd to rebut the plaintiffs prima facie case as the defense?
Also, should you be arguing manufacturing, design defects or failure to warn explicitly under the 2nd Restatement?
Let me know if you need any clarity on these questions. Thanks!
