California, United States of America
The following excerpt is from Ales-Peratis Foods Internat., Inc. v. American Can Co., 164 Cal.App.3d 277, 209 Cal.Rptr. 917 (Cal. App. 1985):
1. Imposition of liability on the manufacturer will not increase the hazard of indiscriminate lawsuits, since under warranty the manufacturer is eventually obliged " 'to shoulder the responsibility which should have been his in the first instance.' " (Santor v. A & M Karagheusian, Inc., supra, 207 A.2d at p. 310.)
