UJI 13-1416. Duty of the supplier; directions for use.

The supplier must use ordinary care to provide directions for use of the product to avoid a risk of injury caused by a foreseeable manner of use. Under plaintiff’s claim of “products liability”, a product presents an unreasonable risk of injury if put on the market without directions for use to avoid a risk of injury caused by a foreseeable manner of use. [The supplier has no duty to provide directions when the supplier can reasonably expect that the safe and proper use will be obvious or known to foreseeable users of the product.]
