Böcker av W. Kip Viscusi

This volume examines state regulations for hazard warningsfor foods, drugs, and medical devicesand demonstrates why a federal warnings approach would be preferable.

Drawing on liability insurance trends and litigation patterns, Viscusi shows that the products liability crisis is has been developing for decades. He argues that the principal causes have been the expansion of the doctrine of design defect, the emergence of mass toxic torts, and an increase in lawsuits involving hazard warnings.
