Abstract
It is not possible to escape being sued for product liability. But the chances can be reduced if one understands how the law regards various circumstances. A manufacturer, for example, may never achieve zero defects. But its product''s design can be examined in light of all possible uses and misuses of the product. If a customer knows a product and its characteristics, one may be able to avoid liability in litigation. But there is still the responsibility of eliminating factors likely to cause injury.
