Description
Products Liability Law (Hornbook Series) 4th Edition David G. Owen ISBN 9781647087142
This new edition of Owen’s Products Liability Law updates and sharpens this seminal work on products liability, providing a thorough and practical analysis of the law in action. It examines the history and development of products liability in the U.S. and abroad, exploring core theories of liability, product defectiveness, and causation. The text addresses proof of defect and causation—including toxic substance claims—with an emphasis on Daubert standards, and covers key defenses, including federal preemption.
The treatise also delves into specialized areas of products liability, such as claims involving electronic and biologic products, cases against Amazon for “selling” defective third-party items, automotive litigation, and pharmaceutical disputes. Throughout, the book highlights underlying tensions and debates, explains the influence of the Restatement of the Law of Torts, Third: Products Liability, and features both classic and recent landmark cases. It further examines how statutory reforms continue to shape this dynamic and evolving field.

Shipping & Returns
-
Fast, standard shipping
Most students receive their books in 3 to 9 business days.
-
Free rental returns, whenever you are done
Print a prepaid return label from your account whenever you have finished with the book, and drop it at the carrier listed on the label. Returning early costs you nothing: it is the same free label, and sending it back sooner is welcome. Just be sure it reaches us by the semester deadline to avoid late fees.
-
Purchase returns: 15% restocking fee
Purchases can be returned within 30 days in the condition you received. We will email a prepaid return label; once we receive your book, we refund the purchase price minus the 15% restocking fee and the return label cost. Original shipping is non-refundable.
-
Shipping costs calculated at checkout
Real-time rates are quoted at checkout based on your address and the books in your cart. Returning your book is always free.
Rental Terms
Return by December 28, 2026 for Fall 2026 rentals.
- Late Fees
- Books returned after the semester deadline accrue a weekly late fee of about 10% of the book's Brand New price, for each copy that is overdue. The rent you have already paid counts toward the book's replacement value (its Brand New price), so late fees stop once your rent plus late fees reach it. That replacement value is the most a rental can ever cost you. We email a reminder 48 hours before any charge, and any late fees are charged to the payment method you save at checkout.
- Damage Fees
- Books returned damaged beyond normal classroom wear may be assessed a damage fee, capped at the book's replacement value (its Brand New price). Any damage fees are charged to the payment method you save at checkout after we inspect the returned book.
- Return Shipping
- Returning your book is free: print a prepaid label (USPS or UPS, whichever is cheaper for your package) from your account's My Rentals page, whether you send it back early or on the semester deadline. Cancelling a shipped rental for a refund is different: there, the return label cost comes out of your refund.
- 30-Day Cancellation
- Changed your mind? Cancel an active rental within 30 days of your order from My Account → My Rentals. Cancel before your book ships and it’s free; once it has shipped, we refund the rental price minus a 15% restocking fee and the return label cost, released once we receive your book. Shipping is non-refundable.
