Yes, pay no attention to that 275 lb linebacker comin’ at ya!
Question for legal discussion: Is "Made in China" prima facie evidence of negligence by the seller so that an affirmative defense should be required to rebut the presumption? Or should the presumption of fault be irrebuttable so that only the question of damages should go to the jury if the jury finds that the product causing the injury was made in China?
Are any helmets made in the USA any more? I heard some time ago that none were made here because of the trial attorneys’ liability claims.
sellers are protected by federal and state laws of requirement, so the law suits would find the guilty, the manufactures,save international law loopholes
riddell revolutionT or the Schutt ION 4D are they way to go.
That’s a Schutt ION 4D
