Product Overview
This Restatement, which deals with the liability of commercial product sellers and distributors for harm caused by their products, was the first segment to be completed of the Institute's long-term undertaking to revise and update the Restatement Second of Torts. Completely superseding 402A of Restatement Second, promulgated in the mid 1960s, this monumental work comprehensively covers the complex field of products liability. The text responds to issues that have become points of serious contention in the courts but were not part of the products liability landscape when the earlier provision was adopted in 1964.
