Product misuse (or abnormal use)occurs when the plaintiff uses the product in some unusual,unforeseeable way,and this causes the loss for which he sues.Examples include ignoring the manufacturer's instructions,mishandling the product,and using the product for purposes for which it was not intended.If,however,the defendant had reason to foresee the misuse and failed to take reasonable precautions against it,there is no defense.Product misuse traditionally has been a defense in warranty,negligence,and strict liability cases.
