Chatham County Georgia product liability post resale lawyer
Savannah truck accident attorney
Irrespective of if or not there is a recognized independent cause of action for negligent voluntary recall, as a general principle of law, when a manufacturer discovers a life threatening hazard in a product, the manufacturer has a post-sale duty to warn end-users of the product of the hazard. Thus even though a manufacturer may not have an affirmative duty to conduct a voluntary recall, the same duty is effectively imposed upon it due to its post-sale duty to warn. If, in fact, a cause of action for undertaking a negligent voluntary recall is recognized in a particular jurisdiction, court may consider the same factors it uses in determining whether the manufacturer owes a post-sale duty to warn in analyzing if a manufacturer was negligent during a recall. In Patton, the court listed a number of factors that must be examined in order to establish if a manufacturer acted reasonably with respect to its post-sale obligation to warn. It is likely these same factors would also be considered in deciding if a manufacturer acted reasonably in conducting a voluntary recall.
