Product Liability Legislation and Regulation to Watch in 2015
Richmond partner Bryan Haynes was quoted in a January 2 Law360 article about what product liability legislation and regulation product liability lawyers will be watching for in 2015, including automotive safety legislation, FDA oversight rules on food and nontraditional smoking products, and FDA guidance on generic labeling rules.
In a section of the article about the FDA finalizing its proposed rules from April 2014 to extend its regulatory authority beyond traditional cigarettes to other nicotine and tobacco products, such as e-cigarettes and hookah tobacco, Brian stated: “The final rules will be very impactful on the market … but it’s anyone’s guess what they will be [from those originally proposed].”
