Overview
Why You Should Attend
The Manufacturing and Consumer Products Law Institute led by Program Chairs Elizabeth R. Bain and Mike Gentine provides essential practice tools and unique insights to bolster attorneys’ success in advising clients along the commercial chain from manufacturing, distribution to the end-use of consumer products.
This year’s program is particularly timely as consumer product uses have drastically evolved with expanded web-based commerce and global information-sharing among consumers. Further, as novel theories of liability arising out of PFAS/“forever chemicals”, pharmaceuticals, and data privacy broaden the scope of liability against manufacturers, the legal bar has turned to increased multi-district litigation and even more complex mass tort actions.

After completing this program, participants will be able to:
- Advise clients on potential consequences of non-compliance with CPSC regulations
- Compare voluntary versus mandatory reporting requirements
- Know how to effectively work with the CPSC
- Understand the regulations governing PFAS and other “forever chemicals”
- Navigate multi-district litigation
- Help clients minimize liability risks along manufacturing and distribution chains
- Prepare for and manage product recalls

Attorneys, including in-house and outside counsel, and compliance professionals practicing in the fields of manufacturing and consumer products law will benefit from this program.
