Pedee, Oregon | Milofarmer is on the right track. The reality of potential liability is related to the danger of the created tool. If you are suggesting that people build something that cannot be used without harm, then you (the suggestor) will be held liable. If the user of the created tool is injured from their own negligence, then no (or very little) liability is possible. I would assume that both manufacturers of the products that go into the tool have warnings to not use their stuff as intended. The courts generally (there are always exceptions with juries) find that if you modify a product away from it's original intention, the manufacturer is no longer liable. Basically you have created your own product and you own the liability (other than if the product is inherently dangerous).
Pinterest would not exist if there was liability in suggesting how to make neat things out of other things. | |
