Product Liability Conference

Overview

As environmental concerns mount and consumers and companies seek to minimize their impact on the planet, new opportunities and risks arise for product manufacturers. Manufacturers are inventing new products using cutting-edge technologies. Consumers are becoming nervous about the use of chemicals in products. The government is involving itself by more heavily regulating a variety of areas, including product labeling. This program will highlight emerging issues in product liability law associated with increasing environmental awareness and health concerns. The green movement will impact everybody’s product liability practice and this seminar presents opportunities to help our clients navigate the new terrain.
