Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The court is likely to consider the obvious risks of the product in question when deciding whether to hold Safe-Rite liable for a warning defect. This means that the court will assess whether the potential dangers associated with Safe-Rite's product were readily apparent to the user and whether the warnings provided were adequate in addressing those risks. The court is less likely to take into account general or specific failures on the part of the consumer to read the warnings, as this is not necessarily relevant to whether the warnings were defective. Likewise, the risks of other products are not likely to be a significant factor in this case, as the focus is on the specific product that caused the harm.
