I remember the product liability cases from the 70s I believe. Private pilot in the US ran out of fuel, crashed and successfully sued the aircraft manufacturer for not specifically warning pilots that they must carry sufficient fuel. This and other cases resulted in ridiculous warning stickers all over airframes and the eventual near total collapse of light aircraft production. Product liability insurance premiums being more than the aircraft were worth.
