Defective

[Chorus 1]
Strict liability!
No need to prove they knew
When products cause injury
Here's what the law will do
(Hold them responsible...)

[Verse 2 - Design Defects]
Drew it up on paper
Looked good in theory
But the risks were greater
Than they needed to be
Could have made it safer
For a reasonable fee
Alternative design
Would've set the danger free

[Pre-Chorus]
Risk-utility balancing
Consumer expectations too
Two tests that keep colliding
When design defects come through

[Chorus 2]
Strict liability!
For designs that fail
When reasonable alternatives
Could've changed the tale
(Should have made it safer...)

[Bridge - Consumer Expectations]
Would an ordinary user
Think it's unreasonably dangerous?
That's the test we use when
Safety falls through the cracks
(Think about the user...)

[Verse 3 - Failure to Warn]
Dangers hidden from view
Risks they should have known
Labels could have told us
What they should have shown
Adequate warnings
Could have changed it all
Now somebody's hurting
From the morning fall

[Chorus 3]
Strict liability!
For warnings left unsaid
When knowledge could prevent
The tears that have been shed
(Should have told us...)

[Bridge 2 - Defenses]
Misuse of the product
Assumption of risk
Statute of limitations
State of the art defense
But none of these matter
If they knew what was wrong
And put it on the market
Where it doesn't belong

[Verse 4 - Causation]
Link the defect to the harm
Show the connection clean and clear
Proximate cause and actual cause
Make the liability appear

[Final Chorus]
Three ways products fail:
Manufacturing gone wrong
Design that could be better
Warnings left unsung
That's strict liability!
No negligence required
Just show the product failed
And someone got injured

[Outro]
Manufacturing defects
Design flaws
Failure to warn
Three paths to the same conclusion...
Strict liability

(Just prove the defect...)
