OUJI-CIV No. 12.6
ADEQUACY OF WARNINGS
ADEQUACY OF WARNINGS
[Plaintiff] contends that the warnings are inadequate. A warning must adequately
inform the ordinary user of the precautions, if any, [he/she] must take and the risk, if any,
that [he/she] is exposed to in the use of the product. The warning must reasonably
communicate the extent or seriousness of the harm that could result from the danger.
OUJI 3d (Rev. 2009) Chapter 12
Where an adequate warning is given, the manufacturer and distributor may
reasonably assume that it will be read and th at the product will be used according to the
directions or instructions. A product bearing su ch a warning, which is safe for use if it is
followed, is not defective, nor is it unreasonably dangerous.
