Product Liability Track
This track is Chaired by Kenneth Ross of Counsel to Bowman and Brooke LLP. He maintains a web site called Product Liability Prevention.
Product liability, born in the United States, has, over the years, been exported to Europe, Canada, and virtually the rest of the world. In this increasingly global economy, it is important to understand legal and technical requirements for selling products anywhere in the world. Three expert product safety and liability lawyers from the U.S., Europe and Canada, will discuss legal and regulatory requirements, requirements for product design and warnings and instructions, reguirements for post-sale issues such as recalls, and litigation in each of their jurisdictions. This is a rare opportunity to hear about these subjects from different country perspectives and understand what the future may bring.
