Product liability law has continued to evolve dramatically within the past year. Recent U.S. Supreme Court opinions have narrowed the jurisdictions in which product manufacturers can be haled into court, see Bristol-Myers Squibb Co. v. Superior Court of Calif., 137 S. Ct. 1773, 1778 (2017); BNSF Ry. Co. v. Tyrrell, 137 S. Ct. 1549, 1554, 1559 (2017), while various courts’ interpretations of law on federal pre-emption, the admissibility of expert causation testimony, and class certification requirements continue to impact the defences available to companies facing product liability litigation.

Although the use of multi-district litigation (“MDL”) has decreased in recent years, it continues to be a major vehicle for product liability litigation, and one capable of subjecting defendants to significant litigation, particularly through industry-wide MDLs and multi-plaintiff trials.

As the design, manufacturing, and function of traditional products rapidly evolve through the advent of new technologies, courts, regulators, practitioners and companies alike will be forced to reexamine, develop, and adapt product liability law in the years to come.

This chapter provides updates on each of the following topics:

Personal Jurisdiction;
Federal Preemption;
Class Actions;
Multidistrict Litigation (MDL) Trends;
Admissibility of Expert Causation Testimony; and
Emerging Areas of Product Liability Law.

International Comparative Legal Guide to: ...","Summary":"

Personal jurisdiction continued to be a hotly contested issue in product liability law during the past year. Since the Supreme Court’s decisions in Daimler AG v. Bauman, 134 S. Ct. 746 (2014) and Walden v. Fiore, 134 S. Ct. 1115 (2014), both state and federal courts have dismissed claims brought by plaintiffs in jurisdictions in which they do not live, did not purchase or use a product, and did not suffer any injury, even where a non-resident plaintiff’s claims were joined with a resident plaintiff’s claims. However, the Supreme Court of California took a different position in Bristol-Myers Squibb Co. v. Super. Ct. of Calif., 206 Cal. Rptr. 3d 636 (2016) (cert. granted Jan. 19, 2017), holding that, in light of the defendant’s extensive contacts in California, the defendant could be subject to specific personal jurisdiction over the nonresident plaintiffs’ claims which arose from the same course of conduct that gave rise to the California plaintiffs’ claims. The Supreme Court of the United States recently granted certiorari in this case, and the decision will likely have a significant impact on product liability litigation.

This past year has also seen its share of other important decisions, most notably in the areas of federal preemption, class actions, and multidistrict litigation. In addition, challenging expert testimony on causation has remained a powerful tool for managing mass tort litigation. Finally, the recent amendments to the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure have controlled the scope of discovery in product liability and other fact-intensive cases.

This chapter provides updates on each of the following topics:

Personal Jurisdiction;
Federal Preemption;
Class Actions;
Multidistrict Litigation (MDL) Trends;
Admissibility of Expert Causation Testimony;
Limiting the Use of Adverse Event Reports in Litigation; and
Federal Rules Update

While combustible dust fires and explosions more frequently take place in metal or chemical facilities, food manufacturers producing or using fine-grained or pulverized organic products such as coffee, cocoa, flour, milk powder, starch and sugar are also vulnerable. Small particles, generated in sufficient quantity and allowed to build on horizontal surfaces, if ignited in the form of a dust cloud, can release a catastrophic chain of events. Ignition sources can include welding, mechanical sparks, hot bearings, open flames, and electrical sparks.
