I am sorry, but I don't get your point. In a product liability suit, it's not the obligation of the plaintiff to disclose design defects. It's the obligation of the manufacturer to make products that are reasonably safe. The manufacturer is the defendant. The plaintiffs are the injured people. If you mean the plaintiff attorney, you still don't understand how it works. As a plaintiff attorney, I may know a lot about defective products, but I have no way of controlling which plaintiffs walk through my door. Even if I engaged in "ambulance-chasing", and personally solicited business from injured people because I knew of a good legal theory for their case, I still have no way of knowing that a person is going to be injured by a product in advance. Public advocacy groups publish data that products are defective all the time. Most people are not aware of the data. They're watching soap operas and sitcoms. It's the obligation of the manufacturer to recall the product and retrofit it if it was dangerous when it was sold. Not the obligation of the plaintiff attorney. I must be misunderstanding you, as you are a very intelligent man, but what you said makes no sense to me. Sorry.
