At first blush, this seems off-subject, but I just can't resist. Today, Declarations and Exclusions
reports on a pending FDA regulation requiring wineries who "fine" their
wine with eggs to provide a warning for the benefit of those with egg
allergies. (If you go to the post, don't miss the barrels of eggs
shown, evidently at Napa Valley's most excellent Merryvale Vineyards.)
With all of our wineries in California, and with product liability law based on Barker v. Lull,
I'm surprised we haven't seen a product liability suit by an allergic
consumer who had no "reasonable expectation" that wine was going to
cause him an allergic reaction.
