Why are Plaintiffs Suing?
They claim the company failed to warn about the risks associated with the hair care system. In products liability law, all products must be reasonably safe for their intended purpose. Any time a product has an inherit danger that can’t eliminated without making the product less functional, the manufacturer must warn customers. A manufacturer can be sued for violating this law.
