The document discusses legal issues surrounding strict product liability for defective products that cause injury. Under strict liability, a manufacturer is liable if a product defect renders the product unreasonably dangerous and causes victim injuries, regardless of fault. Key elements are that the product (such as contaminated milk) must be unsafe/defective and cause injury for the manufacturer (dairy) to be strictly liable. Comparative fault, releases/waivers, trade association liability, and cow share arrangements are also addressed.
