A state-of-the-art study of products liability, showing how ancient
laws have evolved into liability rules capable of solving the
safety questions raised by new or emerging technologies, ranging
from autonomous vehicles to the Amazon online marketplace. The rule
of strict products liability from the last century has been
transformed into a more comprehensive liability regime - "strict
products liability 2.0" - that incorporates the risk-utility test
into the consumer-expectations framework of strict products
liability. Across the important issues, this form of liability
sharpens the inquiry about what's at stake, supplying strong
rationales for a host of otherwise contentious doctrines - from
federal preemption to the relevance of scientific evidence in
toxic-tort cases. The analysis throughout relies on extended
discussion of the black-letter rules and associated controversies
in the case law, providing a solid foundation for understanding
this vitally important area of the law.
