Foreign manufacturers sometimes intentionally or unintentionally cut corners on safety and quality because they are less likely to be held liable in the U.S. for problems created by their products. U.S. manufacturers who buy from foreign companies must alter their relationships with such manufacturers to account for this possibility and enhance the safety of their products to protect themselves better if problems do occur.
