Product liability risk in the USA is a business challenge. Again and again, one hears about spectacular lawsuits due to defective products, but many companies are not sufficiently prepared for product liability cases. The goal of this seminar is to familiarize you with product liability law in the U.S. as well as ways to reduce the risk. A key word is prevention through risk management.

fwp partner Paul Luiki will provide information on the following topics:

• Risk reduction and prevention strategies
• Product compliance check
• When are goods subject to US product liability?
• Scope and limits of liability
• Legal parameters of US product liability law
• Criteria of defectiveness - consumer expectation
• Jury trial
• Warning labels and product labeling
