MUJI 2d CV1046
Conformity with government standard.
If the manufacturer of a [product] complies with federal or state laws, standards or regulations for the industry, regarding proper design, inspection, testing, manufacture or warnings, that are in effect when it makes the [product], it is presumed that the [product] is not defective. However, if you find that [name of plaintiff] has established by a preponderance of evidence that the [product] was defective even though the manufacturer followed government laws, standards or regulations, then the presumption that the product is not defective no longer applies.

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.
