摘要
美国采纳严格产品责任的主要原因是:早期的法律不能给消费者提供充分的保护;调整保证的法律不是从消费者的角度出发的;美国的社会福利很大程度上不如其他西方国家。当今美国主要对于设计和信息性缺陷适用过失责任制度,严格产品制度仅适用于制造缺陷和非制造缺陷的销售者。欧洲和其他法域的严格产品制度远比美国严格。各种结构化和程序化的事务赋予美国公民更多诉至法院的机会。
The main reason for United States to adopt strict products liability are：first, the early law as it existed provided inadequate protection for consumers; second , the law governing warranties was not drafted with consumers in mind;third, the social welfare net in the United States is considerably less densely woven than the net in other western countries .Today, in the U.S., negligence is applicable to both design and infor-mational defects .Strict products liability only applies to manufacturing defects and non -manufacturing sell-ers.The strict products liability in the EU and many other countries is far stricter than in the U .S..A variety of structural and procedural matters give U .S.citizens greater access to courts than exist in any other country in the world .
