adequate warning

A warning that reasonably alerts a product’s average user to a potential hazard, and the nature and extent of the danger.

• Four elements have been articulated as comprising an adequate warning: (1) notice that a severe hazard exists, (2) a description of the hazard’s nature, (3) a description of the hazard’s possible conse-quences, and (4) instructions on how to avoid the hazard. In addition, the warning must be prominently displayed, and may have to illustrate the nature and severity of the hazard with pictographs. [Cases: Products Liability 14. C.J.S. Products Liability §§ 25–29.]
