Abstract
The recent decision in Sindell v. Abbott Laboratories et al. established a new doctrine of causation in product liability, “market share liability.” Under this doctrine the manufacturers of the drug DES, if found guilty of the charges of negligence filed against them, would be assessed damages in proportion to their market share even though the plaintiff, Judith Sindell, cannot identify which of those manufacturers produced the drug causing her injury.
