UJI 13-1410. Particular duties of the manufacturer.

The manufacturer of a product must use ordinary care in: (1) [formulating] [designing] the product; (2) making the product; (3) [inspecting] [testing] the product; and (4) packaging the product. [A manufacturer need not necessarily design into the product or adopt features which represent the ultimate in safety. You should consider a manufacturer’s ability to eliminate a danger without seriously impairing the usefulness of the product or without making it unduly expensive.] Ordinary care requires a product that is reasonably safe for foreseeable use in light of all the circumstances. In [designing] [testing] [packaging] a product, the manufacturer has the duty to possess and apply the knowledge available to reasonably prudent manufacturers.
