Book Synopsis
Recounts the transformation of tort litigation in response to the challenge posed by victims of 21st-century public health crises who seek compensation from the manufacturers. The author finds that courts, through their refusal to expand traditional tort claims, have resisted litigation as a solution to product-caused public health problems.

Trade Review
"The topic, how tort law evolved over time into a system that allowed, for a moment at least, a parens patriae form of massive litigation against corporations, is exceedingly interesting and important. Gifford's treatment of this topic is highly informative, engaging, insightful, very current, and wise." - David Owen, Carolina Distinguished Professor of Law, and Director of Tort Law Studies, University of South Carolina"
