Sometimes a duty is placed on manufacturers to warn consumers that harm may result from a product. Unavoidably dangerous products may require a warning to inform the consumer of possible harm. If the warning is adequate, consumers may be required to use the product at their own risk. A warning must specify the risk presented by the product and give a reason for the warning.
