A Sunday of 26th May 1932, Ms. Donoghue sat in a café with a friend. The friend ordered and paid for some ginger beer, which came in a bottle made from dark opaque glass. Ms Donoghue drank some of the contents then her friend proceeded to pour the remainder of the contents of the bottle into the tumbler when a snail, which was beginning to rot, floated out of the bottle. As a result of the sickening sight of the snail, and of impurities in the ginger-beer, Ms Donoghue suffered from shock and severe gastro-enteritis. She argued that the ginger-beer was manufactured by the defendant Mr. Stevenson to be sold as a drink to the public; that it was bottled with a label bearing his name and that the bottles were then sealed with a metal cap by the …show more content…
In fact Mr. Stevenson, as the manufacturer of a product intended for consumption added in one container that has prevented the inspection, had a duty about consumers of this article to make sure that there was nothing harmful in the products. So, having neglected this duty, they are then responsible for any damages caused by such negligence. This case has been around the world, as did the house of the Lords as the protagonist, and Law Lords sided with Ms. Donoghue. It was the speech of Lord Atkins that was most influential. In deciding the dispute: it states that “The moral rule that you have to love your neighbor becomes in law, you must not injure your neighbor; [...] Who, then, in law is my neighbor? The answer seems to be persons who are so closely and directly affected by my act that I ought to have them in contemplation […] when I am directing my mind to the acts or omissions which are called in question” (Donoghue v. Stevenson 1932 AC …show more content…
This function is performed, as regards the tort of negligence, from a search operation of the proximity switch, which determines the cases in which the defendant will be responsible for having caused with a negligent conduct a predictable damage.

Jan acknowledges his situation, “The whole idea of lawsuits is to settle, to compel the other side to settle” [1]. In fact, he uses this reasoning to his advantage by demanding a total of 320 million dollars from both companies. The case is drawn out and both businesses stubbornly refuse to take responsibility, Cheeseman arguing that, “These chemicals never reached Wells G and H - we will show that. And they never made anyone sick. We will show that, too” [1] while Fascher, representing Beatrice Foods, explaining that, “Unless you've proven that poisons reached the wells, there's no case” [1].
Upon first hearing the story of the fateful night of Kitty Genovese and her brutal murder, the room for speculation on the part of the neighbors seems to be slim. Thirty-eight people chose, during this situation, to see or hear what was going on but then did nothing. One could seemingly argue—and very easily—this is immoral and unethical. This assumption is based on a pre-set societal standard. A standard that was made by people who may not have necessarily ever been in such a situation.
“The defendant is liable only if the product is defective when it leaves his hands. There must be something wrong with the goods. If they are reasonably safe and the buyer’s mishandling of the goods causes the harm, there is no

The results of the trial in Stamford was that Mercy Disborough was temporarily convicted of witchcraft while Goody Clawson was acquitted. The consequences for Mercy Disborough were that despite months and jail and continued peer accusation, she was acquitted. The consequences for the townspeople are blurrier, but it is evident that persistent hysteria was not one of them. The results of the trial in Stamford were largely reigned in from the massive hysteria and mass convictions associated with contemporary witch trials by the law.

After this act was passed, the government was locking down on products that were exposed to the public, preventing producers from contaminating our products, but contamination was not the only problem the government faced. In 1910, the American government seized a fairly large quantity of a product called Johnson’s Mild Combination Treatment for Cancer, this case brought up one major issue of the act. The medication that the government took was not polluted with any poisonous chemicals, but the producers labeled the product with false advertisement. The medication label stated that it was a suppresser of cancer progression, which it was not.

Johnson” (FDA Consumer Magazine, 2009).
