Products Liability--The Expansion Of Fraud, Negligence, And Strict Tort Liability, John A. Sebert Jr.
Products Liability--The Expansion Of Fraud, Negligence, And Strict Tort Liability, John A. Sebert Jr.
Michigan Law Review
While judicial acceptance of this concept of strict tort liability has been proceeding apace, far less dramatic but equally significant developments have been occurring with respect to both negligence and fraud liability. The possibility of recovering for a seller's misrepresentations concerning his product has been enhanced by a plaintiff-oriented judicial redefinition of two elements of a cause of action for fraud: defendant's knowledge of the falsity of his representation and plaintiff's reliance upon the deception. At the same time, negligence liability has often come to resemble liability without fault as courts continue to deemphasize, as a prerequisite to the application …
Products Liability--Some Observations About Allocation Of Risks, Page Keeton
Products Liability--Some Observations About Allocation Of Risks, Page Keeton
Michigan Law Review
Virtually all of the activities of mankind involve the use of some product. Consequently, nearly all losses in the nature of physical damage to persons or things, and a great deal of the economic losses flowing from inferior or unfit products, are factually caused by characteristics or conditions of products, or at least occur during the use of products. Therefore, when fault, in the sense in which fault has been used in the Anglo-American law of torts (a usage which frequently results in the imposition of liability without personal fault), is abandoned as a basis for shifting or allocating losses, …
Retail Druggist's Warranty Of Drugs, Thomas M. Schmitz
Retail Druggist's Warranty Of Drugs, Thomas M. Schmitz
Cleveland State Law Review
Jurisdictions retaining a contractual warranty theory hold that a retail druggist warrants the wholesomeness, fitness, and merchantability of his products. This warranty applies to all drugs whether they are prescription drugs, proprietary drugs ,brand name drugs, or drugs sold in the original sealed containers. Liability for the sale of a prescription drug may be exempted if the patient relies on the physician's judgment, and liability for the sale of a brand name drug may be relieved if there is reliance on the manufacturer's reputation. Jurisdictions construing product warranty as a strict liability in tort will invariably hold a retail druggist …

Sales-Implied Warranty-Merchantable Quality Of Tobacco Products, John E. Mogk
Sales-Implied Warranty-Merchantable Quality Of Tobacco Products, John E. Mogk
Michigan Law Review
Decedent's widow and the administrator of his estate brought a consolidated suit against the American Tobacco Company on six theories of liability for the death of decedent, allegedly caused by lung cancer purportedly contracted from the smoking of defendant's cigarettes. At the close of plaintiff's evidence, the district court directed a verdict for defendant on all counts except those of implied warranty and negligence. The jury determined that, although defendant's cigarettes were the cause of decedent's lung cancer and resultant death, defendant had no means of knowing that the cigarettes would cause cancer. On appeal of the implied warranty charge …

Admiralty--Liability--Transitory Unseaworthiness, Richard Delamielleure
Michigan Law Review
While loading grain aboard a ship, the petitioners, longshoremen, were injured when they inhaled noxious fumes from a shot of grain released into the vessel's hold, the grain having been treated with a chemical insecticide by unknown parties at an inland point. Petitioners brought suit against the city, which owned the grain elevators, and the shipowner, alleging, among other things, that the vessel was unseaworthy. The district court found the ship to be seaworthy, and the circuit court of appeals affirmed the judgment for the defendant. On certiorari the Supreme Court vacated the judgment and remanded the case to the …

Negligence - Res Ipsa Loquitur - Doctine Applied Although Damage Causing Instrumentality Within The Exclusive Control Of Defendant At The Time Of The Damage, Kenneth Laing Jr.
Michigan Law Review
Seven months after defendant had installed a washbowl in a bathroom in plaintiff's house, the house was damaged by water when one of the pipes became disconnected from a faucet. During the two weeks immediately prior to the damage the house was unoccupied, but inspections were made every two or three days by plaintiff's employee. Plaintiff sued defendant to recover for the damage caused by defendant's alleged negligence in connecting the water pipe to the washbowl. In a trial to the court, the evidence tended to eliminate other possible causes of the disconnection, such as rough use or manufacturing fault. …

Admiralty - Unseaworthiness - Recovery For Injuries Resulting From Condition Arising After Commencement Of The Voyage, John L. Peschel
Michigan Law Review
Plaintiff, a member of the crew of a fishing vessel, sustained injuries while disembarking when he slipped on a slimy substance on the ship railing. In an action brought against the shipowner, the seaman sought recovery on three alternative grounds: first, under the Jones Act based upon negligence; second, under general maritime law based upon the obligation of the shipowner to furnish a seaworthy vessel; third, under general maritime law for maintenance and cure. Judgment was entered pursuant to a verdict limiting the seaman to recovery for maintenance and cure. On the seaman's appeal from the adverse verdict on the …
Liability Of Retailer And Wholesaler, William J. Hotes
Liability Of Retailer And Wholesaler, William J. Hotes
Cleveland State Law Review
With the ever-increasing dependence of the consumer on his retailer to supply the consumer's needs, the increasing importance of implied warranties is clearly seen. It is for the retailer to see that the goods which he sells are suitable for the use and purpose which the consumer will make of them. Failure to offer suitable merchandise should carry with it liability for the resulting loss suffered by the consumer. When injured consumers have chosen to seek recovery from the wholesalers of goods which have caused them harm, they have generally brought actions for negligence or for breach of implied warranty …

Libel And Slander-Radio Defamation-Liability Of Broadcasting Company For Defamatory Statements Made Over Its Facilities, Albert B. Perlin, Jr. S. Ed.
Libel And Slander-Radio Defamation-Liability Of Broadcasting Company For Defamatory Statements Made Over Its Facilities, Albert B. Perlin, Jr. S. Ed.
Michigan Law Review
During a radio program, a lessee of broadcasting facilities read previously prepared statements regarding a public official which were defamatory per se. In an action for defamation against the broadcasting company, defendant attacked the complaint as insufficient in failing to allege negligence. Held, the allegation of negligence is essential, but the complaint was sufficient. Kelly v. Hoffman, (N.J. 1948) 61 A. (2d) 143.
