Abstract

The authors examines the lack of state-court case law in Florida on the issue of whether product manufacturers and sellers have the responsibility to warn in Spanish. An overview of Florida's increasing Hispanic and Latino population is provided. The state does not require manufacturers or sellers to warn in Spanish or in any language other than English. The case of Farias v. Mr. Heater Inc. is discussed including the court's ruling that there is no general common-law duty to warn in Spanish.
