strict products liability

Read a random definition: corporate name

A quick definition of strict products liability:

Strict products liability is when a company is responsible for any harm caused by a defective product they made or sold. This means that if someone is hurt by a product that was not made correctly, the company that made or sold it can be held responsible. To prove strict products liability, the person who was hurt must show that the product was dangerous, that the company was in the business of selling products, that the product was defective, and that the defect caused the injury. This is a way to make sure that companies are careful when making and selling products so that people are safe when using them.

A more thorough explanation:

Definition: Strict products liability is a legal theory that holds manufacturers and sellers responsible for any damages or injuries caused by a defective product. This liability can be based on negligence, breach of warranty, or strict liability.

Example: If a person buys a toaster and it malfunctions, causing a fire that damages their home, the manufacturer of the toaster can be held strictly liable for the damages. The buyer does not need to prove that the manufacturer was negligent or breached a warranty, only that the product was defective and caused the damage.

This example illustrates how strict products liability works. The manufacturer is held responsible for the defective product, regardless of whether they were negligent or not. This helps protect consumers from harm caused by faulty products and encourages manufacturers to ensure their products are safe.

Tell us what's important to you
so eg i didn't do a separate DS for most schools because i talk about my identity and life experiences and shit in my personal statement so it would've been redundant
for schools that have specific prompts like duke i did them
Yeah because I mean I could talk about my religious background but I feel like it may just fall flat since I've done two options on personal experience and I dont' have any other work experience that relates to it. I just don't want it to harm me that I didn't tell them as much about my self as I could with all the statements but I'm just not sure it'll sound authentic -- even if I am passionate about my faith. So I'm heavily leaning to skip it.
i think if you only briefly mention it in your personal statement and you really talk about things like how it influences your woldview for example or how it shapes your future plans and why you want to go into law (if that's not something you talk about in your PS) that's a very solid DS
That's true. I think I should a least write a draft then to see how I feel about it. :3
if it adds to who you are as a person and why you're motivated to purse things then it's something that is valuable for adcomms to know and it comes off as genuine because it is
Honestly I wouldn't stress too hard about essays. Most essays exist purely to determine whether or not you can write, so unless you're the 1% who writes the greatest essay they've ever seen, or the 1% who writes the worst essay they've ever seen, it is not going to be the deciding factor except in the most niche of tiebreaker scenarios.
Okay!
Which is not to say you shouldn't put effort into them and make them as strong as possible, but don't let it keep you up at night is basically what I'm getting at
