"A college student with a heart condition died after she drank Panera Bread's Charged Lemonade, a large cup of which contains more caffeine than cans of Red Bull and Monster energy drinks

- The Pinto was a small subcompact car manufactured by Ford in 1971 in the face of looming competition from foreign automobile manufacturers. It was the first ‘small’ car created by Ford and was supposed to cost less than $2000 and weigh less than 2000 pounds. It was an attractive proposition for American consumers at the time when gas prices were rising (the oil crisis of 1973 was right around the corner!) and disposable incomes were constrained. The car was initially well-received in the American market, with full-page newspaper ads highlighting the distinctive design and fuel efficiency of the Pintop. But over time, it became apparent that the vehicle had a dangerous design flaw. The car’s fuel tank was located between the rear bumper and the rear axle - any low-speed rear-end collision at 25 mph would rupture the gas tank, cause fuel to leak and cause a fire or explosion. Cases of injuries and deaths trickled into Ford over time.

- careless marketing is not a type of product defect that have traditionally beenrecognized in product liability lawarrow_forwardFord and Firestone Tire and Rubber Company is one of unsuccessful crisis management in the organization. The Ford-Firestone Tire and Rubber Company dispute transpired in August 2000. In response to claims that their 15-inch Wilderness AT, radial ATX and ATX II tire treads were separating from the tire core—leading to crashes— Bridgestone/Firestone recalled 6.5 million tires. These tires were mostly used on the Ford Explorer, the world's top selling sport utility vehicle (SUV). The two companies committed three major blunders early on, say crisis experts. First, they blamed consumers for not inflating their tires properly. Then they blamed each other for faulty tires and faulty vehicle design. Then they said very little about what they were doing to solve a problem that had caused more than 100 deaths—until they got called to Washington to testify before Congress.
