Yet, the question that BEGS to be asked is: Where will the "tail of liability" end..-or travel to; to wreck additional lives and livelihoods.
Meaning; at what point in an occurrence or chain of occurrences will (eg) a manufacturer be free of liability
Look: You make a foam product.
Everyone knows it's flammable and probably a carricinogen
You treat it properly in view of the above, and don't, let's say, eat it or smell it, or place it near flame
If you do, you get hurt.
So then WHY should the manufacturer be held liable
Or better said, why should that hamburger joint be made to pay $1,000,000 to a dumb *** who was stupid enough to put a hot cup of coffee between their legs in a moving car ?
