Inadequate Warning
Definition:
Sometimes, a manufacturer doesn’t warn the user of a product’s hazards. Simply putting a warning in a little instruction book or label might not be enough. The warning must adequately inform the user of the hazards.
Causation
Definition:
If you find that the product is defective because it failed to provide a warning when one was reasonably required or because the warning was inadequate, then you will go on to consider the element of causation.
Merchant
Definition:
A person who deals in the goods of the kind or otherwise by his occupation holds himself out as having knowledge or skill peculiar to the practices or goods involved in the transaction or to whom such knowledge or skill may be attributed by his employment of an agent or broker or other intermediary who by his occupation holds himself out as having such knowledge or skill.
