I have been working on some cases involving defective products made in China. What I am realizing is that we are losing our rights to recover damages for the injuries they cause. A case in point is a recent law in Arkansas which gives an unfair advantage to companies, which import these products from China and put them in stores in Arkansas. This law allows these import companies to force injured residents of Arkansas to go to China to recover a significant part their damages, a near impossibility. In all fairness, the burden of distributing the cost of injuries caused by these products should fall on the importers. The importers are making money by bringing these products to our stores. The importers should be the ones to have to go to China and get reimbursed or else they should make a better deal for themselves before bringing dangerous goods into our country. Do you agree?
