Review of Products Liability Law Hornbook (Hardcover)

I have been studying product liability law, and handling product liability cases, since 1979, and I have read most of the major works on the subject.Most of those works examine a limited number of subjects from a limited point of view, often evading altogether the thorniest issues.Even the Restatement (Third) of Torts:Products Liability treats many important subjects, such as the meaning of design defect, in a relatively superficial fashion. This hornbook is dramatically different.In what is clearly the work of a lifetime, Professor Owen examines every facet of product liability law from numerous different perspectives, pointing out all sides of virtually every issue with complete objectivity.Scholars and practicing lawyers alike can look to this book for a thorough and analytically sound evaluation of the issues they are likely to confront.Indeed, anyone interested in truly understanding product liability law should not refer to the Restatement (Third) without also referring to this book, both for context and for a candid assessment of the competing views.

Product Description
Products Liability Law addresses the major issues of products liability law in a clear, logical, and comprehensive fashion.Professor Owen presents the variety of products liability topics in organized progression, from introductory discussions of the nature and history of products liability law in America and abroad, through detailed inquiries into the theories of liability, product defectiveness, causation, and defenses, to explorations of selected special issues, including punitive damages.
