During a monthly Lunch and Learn Seminar at TLG offices, all TLG business consultants are discussing various client cases.  During the Discussion of GC’s new business, the group discusses the following question:

Whether GC should resell EPI cleaning products from its public place of business and over the internet, or whether the risk of potential product liability outweighs any potential profit from reselling the EPI products, and why.

(PART TWO)

Background:  TLG has scheduled another meeting with the GC owners to further discuss the risks and liabilities of tort law.  This meeting will  focus specifically on product liability.
