TY - CHAP M1 - Book, Section TI - Products Liability (Part I): General Principles A1 - Weissman, Fred G. A1 - Pinder, Jim A1 - Berns, Mark R. PY - 2016 T2 - Pharmacy Practice and Tort Law AB - The principle of caveat emptor (“the buyer beware”) existed prior to the mid-1900s regarding the consumer’s acquisition and purchasing of a manufacturer’s product. Since the mid-1900s, the principle of strict liability has been one of several theories that has been applied to products liability claims. Essentially, strict liability does not cast fault on a defendant, but rather attempts to attach liability to the product that caused the alleged injury or harm due to some defective characteristic that could only have been made safer by that product’s manufacturer.
