Moran vs. Faberge (1975)
At a slumber party held at the home of Louis Grigsby, Randi Williams poured Faberge “Tigress” cologne into a burning candle in order to make it a “scented” candle. The perfume, composed of 82% alcohol, was highly flammable and caught fire. The resulting flames caused severe burns to the neck and torso of Randi’s friend Nancy Moran. The Moran family sued the Williams family and the Grigsby family, and both were found not guilty. The Williams family also sued the Faberge company, on the basis of the fact that there was no warning on the product indicating that it was highly flammable, even though the manufacturer knew that it was highly flammable. The trial court found Faberge liable for $30000 in damages. Faberge appealed.
The appeals court noted that manufacturers (as of 1975) had a duty to “produce a safe product, with appropriate warnings and instruction when necessary”. Thinking in terms of the Hand rule, it noted that printing a warning on a label is indeed a very cheap precaution, but that there also must be some identifiable benefit to printing the warning for failure to print a warning to become failure to meet a duty.
The appeals court then ruled against Faberge.
QUESTION:
1. Did Faberge fail in its standard of care according to a Hand rule? (That is, if there had been a warning of flammability on the product, would the benefit to society in the form of fewer losses due to accidents outweigh the cost of printing the warning?) Or is the ruling wrong, because it is too costly to ask companies to foresee and try to safeguard or warn against every bizarre type of product use?
