Regulation
Date
1985-5
LAWYERS THINK of the product liability revolution as completed in many of the larger states by 1970.

It will have very different effects, depending on the risks, benefits, economic base, and the design, distribution, and manufacturing options available for each product. But, as to vaccines, it is becoming clear that liability law has had disastrous effects.
