The American Association of Justice (AAJ) whose mission is to is to promote a fair and effective justice system, in partnership with American University’s Washington College of Law, has issued a report on dangerous foreign products.
AAJ argues that foreign producers are protected by the complex web of laws, policies, and practices. This means that when someone is injured or killed while using a product not manufactured here in the United States (think of where things are coming from these days)it is difficult if not impossible to sue these foreign manufacturers in domestic courts.
These manufacturers can often set their prices lower because they are not subject to the equal prospect of restitution U.S. manufacturers face if a consumer is injured by their product.
