These kind of law suits just drive companies out of business and others not to get into certain lines of products because of liability. this just stifles creativity and new products that could be invented .I hate lawyers they only care about them selves under the disguise of helping other people.
So you feel that a company that profits from selling a product that it produces,advertises and sells as a "safety harness" that in turn actually kills you need not be sued out of business?

If your spouse were killed because the airbag in your car failed to inflate because of a failed design you would not sue the manufacturer?

As ridiculous as these cases are they do force legitimate manufacturers to produce products that function safely and asadvertised.
