Manufacturers have a duty to provide consumers with reasonable warnings and instructions regarding the risks associated with their products. Courts examine several factors in determining whether a manufacturer has a duty to warn consumers of a particular risk. Included amongst these factors are the gravity of the risks posed by the product, the likelihood that it will cause injury to an un-informed consumer, the class of users expected to use the product, the setting under which the product is likely to be used, and the intended or foreseeable uses to which the product can be put.
