183. how many other products were the subject of SLAPP suits designed

Sun Nov 8, 2015, 11:52 PM

Nov 2015

to put the manufacturers out of business? If it were not for those, the legal protection would not be required. This is the same protection required of abortion providers for the same issue, SLAPP suits designed to bankrupt defending frivolous lawsuits. So yes they did require protection, but as I have stated and you seem to gloss over, they can and are sued for legitimate reasons, including defective products, just like every other consumer product. In fact there are 6 exceptions to the law that the controller side seem to forget about.

How can a manufacturer of a legal product that is forbidden by federal law to be sold directly to the public but must be sold to a federally licensed dealer be held responsible for a criminal act committed by a third party?
