It's a rough world out there. Step outside and you could break a leg slipping on your doormat.Light up the stove and you could burn down the house. Luckily, if the doormat or stove failed to warnof coming disaster, a successful lawsuit might compensate you for your troubles. Or so the thinkinghas gone since the early 1980s, when juries began holding more companies liable for their customers'misfortunes.
Feeling threatened, companies responded by writing ever-longer warning labels, trying to anticipateevery possible accident. Today, stepladders carry labels several inches long that warn, among otherthings, that you might -- surprise! --fall off. The label on a child's Batman cape cautions that the toy"does not enable user to fly."
While warnings are often appropriate and necessary--the dangers of drug interactions, forexample--and many are required by state or federal regulations, it isn't clear that they actually protectthe manufacturers and sellers from liability if a customer is injured. About 50 percent of the companieslose when injured customers take them to court.
Now the tide appears to be turning. As personal injury claims continue as before, some courts arebeginning to side with defendants, especially in cases where a warning label probably wouldn't havechanged anything. In May, Julie Nimmons, president of Schutt Sports in Illinois, successfully foughta lawsuit involving a football player who was paralyzed in a game while wearing a Schutt helmet."We're really sorry he has become paralyzed, but helmets aren't designed to prevent those kinds ofinjuries," says Nimmons. The jury agreed that the nature of the game, not the helmet, was the reasonfor the athlete's injury. At the same time, the American Law Institute --a group of judges, lawyers,and academics whose recommendations carry substantial weight -- issued new guidelines for tort lawstating that companies need not warn customers of obvious dangers or bombard them with a lengthy list
