>Companies will put whichever labels they feel are required because they are still liable for the problems their products cause. This is basic and standard tort law, no change required here. A few problems here... It's hard to sue if you're dead. Yeah, your family can sue, but now they're dealing with that on top of you being dead. And there is nothing the court can do to un-dead you. In addition to not being able to un-dead you, the court can't fix the disability or other permanent issues you're now dealing with. Sure, the court can award you damages. While there are probably exceptions, most people would probably rather have their health and quality of life. Dealing with it through tort law alone means that the damage must go all the way through to occurring. That damage can often not be undone to any real degree, only kinda covered up with cash. That presumes the poison peddler hasn't protected themselves with an army of shell companies, or siphoned the funds off into another country, etc. Waiting until the damage happens for every single instance is sticking fingers in ears at societal scale.
