According to Californian courts, the expense of injuries brought on by a defective product should be covered by those who profited from putting it on the market. This is due to: (1) The manufacturer, as opposed to consumers, may foresee problems and take precautions against them. (2) While producers can insure against the risk and split the expense among the buying public, the injury cost may be an overwhelming misfortune to the afflicted consumer. (3) Deterring the sale of faulty products is in the public's best interest.
