About This Course

It seems that ever since the McDonald’s coffee case, wherein the company was sued for failure to warn a customer that her coffee was hot, product warning labels have gone to extremes. From their inception as aural and visual signs, such as the Stop, Look and Listen traffic signals, to the government-mandated warnings on products such as cigarettes, we have now reached a stage where every potential hazard from the likely to the absurd is spelled out on increasingly long warning labels. This CLE course will chart that history and explain its evolution within the context of failure to warn claims and personal injury claims. The course will present the various codes, standards and regulations as well as the government agencies and trade organizations which promulgate them. Case law, requirements and published findings will all be presented. The course concludes with an overview of the impact of major court rulings on warnings’ experts.
