Defining "Green": Toward Regulation Of Environmental Marketing Claims, Roger D. Wynne May 1991

Defining "Green": Toward Regulation Of Environmental Marketing Claims, Roger D. Wynne

University of Michigan Journal of Law Reform

This Note joins a rising chorus calling for government regulation of green marketing claims. It attempts to encourage and add a sense of urgency to a burgeoning regulatory movement by highlighting some of the legal issues that such regulation entails. Part I identifies a gap in the law: the inability of current truth-in-advertising laws to clarify the legality of green marketing claims. Part II urges bridging that gap quickly; it examines the costs of continued nonregulation and describes some of the forms regulation is taking. Part III attempts to allay any fears that such regulations might be challenged on first …

Regulation Vs. The Market: The Case Of Bicycle Safety (Part Ii), Ross D. Petty Mar 1991

Regulation Vs. The Market: The Case Of Bicycle Safety (Part Ii), Ross D. Petty

RISK: Health, Safety & Environment (1990-2002)

In this part, Professor Petty examines bicycle Risk in detail, comparing the accomplishments of the CPSC's bicycle standard with market forces resulting in, e.g., the development and use of hardshell bicycle helmets. Moreover, he briefly discusses the role of tort liability in managing Risk. Ultimately he concludes that, in the case of bicycle safety, regulation has failed to be as effective as other forces tending to reduce bicycle injuries. [Part I appears at 77.]


Market Share Liability: A Current Assessment Of A Decade-Old Doctrine, Andrew B. Nace Mar 1991

Market Share Liability: A Current Assessment Of A Decade-Old Doctrine, Andrew B. Nace

Vanderbilt Law Review

Ten years ago, in Sindell v. Abbott Laboratories, the California Supreme Court created market share liability as a remedy for plaintiffs who had suffered injuries from prenatal exposure to diethystilbestrol (DES), but were unable to identify the specific manufacturer of the drug. The court fashioned the remedy because the available tort theories at the time-enterprise liability, alternate liability, and concert of action-were inadequate remedies for DES plaintiffs. The court's motivation was compensatory: redress innocent plaintiffs' injuries at the expense of collectively negligent defendants. Because of the victims' inability to show actual causation, the new doctrine sought to approximate a manufacturer's …

Regulation Vs. The Market: The Case Of Bicycle Safety (Part I), Ross D. Petty

RISK: Health, Safety & Environment (1990-2002)

This part of the article describes events leading to the creation of the Consumer Product Safety Commission - and the on-going debate between those who believe safety regulation is necessary and those who believe that market forces can achieve acceptable levels of Risk. The author also sets the stage for a detailed examination of bicycle Risk. In the next issue, he compares the accomplishments of the CPSC's bicycle standard with, e.g., the development and use of hard-shell bicycle helmets. Moreover, he discusses the role of tort liability in managing Risk and ultimately concludes that, in the case of bicycle safety, …

The Need For Revisiting The Imposition Of Bad Faith Liability: Industrial Indemnity Co. V. Kallevig, J. Benson Porter, Jr. Jan 1991

The Need For Revisiting The Imposition Of Bad Faith Liability: Industrial Indemnity Co. V. Kallevig, J. Benson Porter, Jr.

Seattle University Law Review

This Note posits two recommendations. First, in order to harmonize the bad faith standards applied in Kallevig and Gingrich, the Kallevig reasonable justification standard should be applied in situations involving questions similar to those confronted by the Gingrich court. Second, this Note contends that the Kallevig court's analysis imposing liability under the CPA was defective because it failed to take proper account of the frequency requirement within the unfair trade practices regulations. By ignoring the frequency provision, the Kallevig decision allows inconsistent treatment of similar factual situations depending on whether the decision is being made by an agency or …
