Features: Joining the World Trade Organization marks the entry of China's economy into a new era of development—a globalized business era. The mobility of talent in business and law will become globalized, talent evaluation standards will internationalize, and education must keep pace with global development. The commercial society has long been depicted by Marx as a complex and intricate machine, with law being the mechanism that maintains its operation. Law is not merely about the principles of morality and justice, nor is it solely the fair doctrines of moral teachings, but also a highly operational, detailed, and specific professional technology. This book is a widely recommended mainstream course textbook used by law faculties at top universities in the United States, such as Harvard and Yale, and the authors are renowned professors in the U.S. with profound theoretical knowledge and extensive practical experience. The authors discuss the liability for manufacturing defective products and the liability for selling products that pose ordinary risks, providing detailed introductions to classic cases and statutory provisions, and compare and analyze the product liability laws of other countries with those of the United States. Excerpts from important regulations offer great convenience to readers. The fourth edition includes typical new cases and discusses the liability of component manufacturers.
