Description
Products Liability and Safety Cases and Materials 8th Edition David G. Owen
ISBN 9781634608213
Products Liability Cases and Materials 8th Edition offers a thoroughly updated and modernized approach while preserving the strengths that have made it a staple in legal education. Building on the solid foundation of previous editions, the Eighth Edition retains the majority of the core cases and materials but integrates important new developments in both case law and legislation. It makes modest organizational improvements and deepens analysis in the most critical areas.
This edition continues to emphasize the evolving interpretation of "defectiveness" and the evidentiary challenges associated with proving liability—particularly in light of Daubert v. Merrell Dow Pharmaceuticals, which reshaped expert testimony standards. The updated text brings enriched coverage and expanded treatment to emerging and complex issues, including:
- Amazon’s potential liability for defective products sold through its platform
- Legal challenges involving defective medical devices
- Developments in federal preemption doctrine
- Causation in toxic torts
- Liability questions surrounding automated vehicles and AI
- The treatment of computer software and human body parts as “products” under liability law
Adopted by over 100 law schools—including Harvard, Yale, NYU, Michigan, and Georgetown—this casebook remains a trusted resource. The Eighth Edition is flexible and well-suited for both two- and three-credit courses, offering rigorous, current, and thought-provoking materials for today’s classroom.

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.
