Do warning labels protect manufacturers from strict liability?
Warning labels can help protect manufacturers from strict liability by providing consumers with information about potential risks associated with using the product.

In some cases, even with warning labels, manufacturers may still be held liable if the warnings were found to be inadequate or insufficient.
