Breakout 10 (REPEATING 6): How to deal with Frankenstein Product
Tuesday February 18, 2025 10:30am - 11:20am EST

Once there is an issue, the brand manufacturer is however always the one whose liability is sought. But when is a product not anymore the initial product? When is the manufacturer not the manufacturer anymore? How far should manufacturers anticipate changes that can be done to their products?
