In the case of Donald C. MacPherson v Buick Motor Co.
1. To reach the result in this case, the court applied a definition of "inherently dangerous" products that included products that "place life and limb in peril when negligently made." Can you think of any products that do not fit this definition? If so, should the requirement of privity of contract apply in cases involving injuries caused by defects in those products?
2. In light of the reasoning in this case, are there any limits to the liability of a manufacturer for injuries attributable to negligently made products? If so, what is the basis for those limits?
