consumer-contemplation test

Read a random definition: oneris ferendi

A quick definition of consumer-contemplation test:

The consumer-contemplation test is a way to hold a manufacturer responsible for a product's danger if it is more than what a normal person would expect. This test is also known as the consumer-user-contemplation test or the consumer-expectation test. It is different from the risk-utility test.

A more thorough explanation:

The consumer-contemplation test is a way to hold a manufacturer responsible for a product's danger if it is greater than what a reasonable consumer would expect. This test is also known as the consumer-user-contemplation test or the consumer-expectation test. It is different from the risk-utility test.

For example, if a company produces a hair dryer that overheats and catches fire, causing burns to the user, the consumer-contemplation test would ask whether a reasonable consumer would expect a hair dryer to catch fire. If the answer is no, the manufacturer could be held liable for the injuries caused by the product.

Another example could be a toy that breaks easily and creates small parts that can be swallowed by a child. If a reasonable consumer would not expect the toy to break so easily and create a choking hazard, the manufacturer could be held responsible for any harm caused to the child.

These examples illustrate how the consumer-contemplation test is used to determine whether a product is unreasonably dangerous and whether the manufacturer should be held responsible for any harm caused by the product.

One manager came in sick wearing a mask, got roasted and stopped wearing it that day. The entire office has been cycling sickness for two weeks now. It may not be super effective but it may help in slowing the spread during meetings when we have to be so close
