Product safety:
Implied and expressed claims of product safety refer to the degree of risk associated
with using of product. Since the use of virtually any product involves some degree of risk,
question of afety is essentially question of acceptable known levels of risks. That is – a
product is safe if its attendant risks are known and judged to be “acceptable” or
“reasonable” by the buyer in view of benefits the buyer expects to derive from using the
product. This implies that the seller complies with his or her part of free agreement if the
seller provides a product that involves only those risks he or she says it involves and the
buyer purchases it with that understanding. The seller of product has a moral duty to
provide a product whose use involves no greater risks than those the seller expressly
communicates to the buyer or those the seller implicitly communicates by the implicit
claims made when marketing the product for a use whose normal risks level is well known.
