I can't think of any product that has been developed since 1970 that can kill people. The exceptions are medical devices and pharmaceuticals. I sure hope self-driving cars can be an exception, but that will definitely take a federal law limiting the liability of manufactures. Similar to how small aircraft manufacturers were being pushed to extinction due to very high liability costs until the passage of the General Aviation Revitalization Act in 1994.
- ghaff 6y agoLots of products can (and do) kill people. But drug side effects aside, it's hard to think of modern consumer products that, used and maintained properly, might just go and kill you some day and people being OK with that.
- mcguire 6y agoTo njarboe's point, cars, motorcycles, airplanes, and furniture predate 1970. As do most of the deadly chemical products.
