Description:
The new edition of this classic casebook continues its long tradition of sensitively exploring products liability law and theory. The Sixth Edition includes significant new materials on such topics as design defects, warning defects, special issues on causation, federal preemption (including Wyeth v. Levine on pharmaceutical preemption), toxic substances (including important new material on medical monitoring), and punitive damages (including Philip Morris v. Williams). Daubert issues and the Products Liability Restatement are integrated throughout.
Previous editions of this classic casebook have been adopted at over 100 law schools such as Harvard, Yale, Penn, NYU, Michigan, Duke, Georgetown, and Texas.
Statutory Supplement and Teacher’s Manual are also available.
