Smart Lawyers to Blame for Stupid Product Warning Labels

It starts innocently enough. Business makes product. Customer uses product. Product does what it’s supposed to. Everybody’s happy.

But then, the law of averages kicks in and the customer gets injured using the product. In fact, the customer gets injured in a way that the business could not possibly have anticipated. Since the business couldn’t anticipate the customer’s injury, the business didn’t put a warning on its product to prevent such injuries. The customer retains a lawyer. The lawyer rakes the business over the coals. The customer gets a settlement. The lawyer takes a large percentage of said settlement. The business forever covers its ass with a warning label.

Typos in Your Already Sent Law School Application Will Terrify

Today we have a guest post from Anna Ivey, founder of Ivey Consulting.
