Sales - Implied Warranty - Privity Of Contract As A Prerequisite To Recovery From Manufacturer, John L. Peschel S. Ed.
Sales - Implied Warranty - Privity Of Contract As A Prerequisite To Recovery From Manufacturer, John L. Peschel S. Ed.
Michigan Law Review
Plaintiff sustained injuries in the course of his employment when a defective abrasive wheel, while being used in its intended manner, exploded in his face. The abrasive wheel was purchased by plaintiff's employer directly from the manufacturer. Plaintiff sought recovery from the manufacturer on two grounds: negligence in the manufacture of the abrasive wheel and breach of implied warranty for fitness of purpose. The negligence issue was submitted to the jury, which returned a verdict adverse to the plaintiff. The manufacturer's demurrer to the cause of action based upon implied warranty was sustained by the trial court. On appeal from …
Safeguards Against Unjust Awards, Robert F. Hanley, Robert E. Mason
Safeguards Against Unjust Awards, Robert F. Hanley, Robert E. Mason
Cleveland State Law Review
It is submitted that if courts are willing to assume the responsibility of imposing liability without fault, they must recognize the importance of holding plaintiffs to the burdens of proof which they have traditionally been required to bear. There is no valid social, economic, or legal theory which justifies a relaxation of these standards of proof under either theory oftort or express warranty. Particularly in the latter instance, where remote purchasers having no contact with the defendant are permitted to maintain actions without a showing of negligence, such relaxation can only encourage a multiplicity of spurious claims.
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 …
Viewpoint Of The Consumer, Catherine H. Hotes
Viewpoint Of The Consumer, Catherine H. Hotes
Cleveland State Law Review
When Adam Smith described his self-regulating economy in the 1770's, he assumed that its motive power would be provided by the interplay of mutual demands and concessions between economic entities, and that such interplay would result in a balance of power. Since that time, the growth of huge corporations that employ modern technology, complex manufacturing processes, mass production, and mass advertising, into "clusters of private collectivisms" has substantially upset any such supposed balance of power.
Poisoning By Common Household Products, Robert D. Mercer
Poisoning By Common Household Products, Robert D. Mercer
Cleveland State Law Review
The danger of poisoning, especially of children, is widespread. In Greater Cleveland, Ohio alone, during 1957 (excluding deaths from automobile accidents) 43 children were accidentally killed. Eleven of those deaths were due to poisoning; all of the children being in the age group from one year to six years. In a recent six-month period the Poison Information Center of The Academy of Medicine of Cleveland received 1,535 calls concerning treatment for accidental poisoning of children. This figure by no means indicates the total number of cases of poisoning that actually occurred. These terrible statistics can be sharply reduced by proper …

Proof Of Product Defect (Metallurgical Case), Ellis B. Brannon, Robert F. Hehemann, Keith E. Weigle Jr.
Cleveland State Law Review
This article describes some of the problems of proof encountered in the preparation of a unique product liability case. No single case regarding a defective hand tool was found which presented a standard of conduct by which the plaintiff could claim the defendant was negligent in causing the plaintiff his unfortunate injury-the loss of an eye.

Federal Food, Drug, And Cosmetic Act - 20 Years Of Health Protection, Irvin Kerlan
Federal Food, Drug, And Cosmetic Act - 20 Years Of Health Protection, Irvin Kerlan
Cleveland State Law Review
Twenty years of major public health protection have been provided since enactment of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act of 1938. The Food and Drug Administration, a constituent of the United States Department of Health, Education, and Welfare, enforces this Act and thereby carries out the purpose of Congress to insure that foods are safe, pure, and wholesome, and made under sanitary conditions; drugs and therapeutic devices are safe and effective for their intended uses; cosmetics are safe and prepared from appropriate ingredients; and that all of these products are honestly and informatively labeled and packaged. Man and animals …
Advertising Law And Product Liability, Robert B. Dunsmore
Advertising Law And Product Liability, Robert B. Dunsmore
Cleveland State Law Review
Perhaps a quick look at the advertising industry will better enable us to form an opinion about the real merits of the liability imposed on a manufacturer as a result of representations made in his advertising.
