Outcome
April 11, 2022
The California Court of Appeal holds that California’s Unfair Competition Law did not require a product manufacturer to disclose all risks associated with its product, but that defendants were nonetheless liable on the facts of the case. The U.S. Chamber filed a coalition amicus brief arguing that the trial court had improperly applied an “all risks” standard.
