Strict Product Liability--Definition of “Unreasonably Dangerous”--Risk -Utility

When I use the expression “unreasonably dangerous,” I mean that the risk of danger
inherent in the design outweighs the benefits of the design when the product is put to a use that is
reasonably foreseeable considering the nature and function of the product.

Unofficial copy of government-published law, reproduced from official sources with full provenance. Not an official publication; verify against official sources before relying on it in a filing. Records in the 'guidance' corpus, and only that corpus, are sub-regulatory (interpretive guidelines, survey procedures) and are not binding law. Validity bounds follow each jurisdiction's declared temporalBasis.
