Next Meeting

February 9, 2012
6:00 PM - 9:00 PM

Consumer Product Liability Discussion

The focus of this months meeting will be discussing the role of quality assurance directors, managers, and engineers in recognizing and avoiding lawsuit risks.

Lawsuit risks will be discussed through the use of a hypothetical lawsuit that centers on quality assurance issues that you may experience or hope to avoid every day.

The interactive case study is designed to educate you about product liability lawsuits, product safety and the harmful evidence that you may unknowingly be creating every day.

Speaker:
