California, United States of America
The following excerpt is from Connor v. Conejo Valley Development Co., 61 Cal.Rptr. 333 (Cal. App. 1967):
The same legal reasoning has recently been applied by a New Jersey court in a decision bearing upon tract development. (Schipper v. Levitt & Sons, Inc., supra, 207 A.2d 314.) "[W]hen a manufacturer presents his products for sale to the public he accompanies them with an implied representation that they are reasonably fit for the intended use, and he is subject to an enterprise liability, the purpose of which is to insure that the cost of injury or damage resulting from defective products 'is borne by the makers of the products who put them in the channels of trade, rather than by the injured or damaged persons who ordinarily are powerless to protect themselves.'
