SR Print(0) ID 1128399987 T1 Products Liability (Part I): General Principles T2 Pharmacy Practice and Tort Law YR 2016 FD 2016 PB McGraw-Hill Education PP New York, NY SN 9781259640957 LK accesspharmacy.mhmedical.com/content.aspx?aid=1128399987 RD 2024/10/16 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.
