Feb 25, 2011: In a recent ruling in Williamson v. Mazda Motor of America (No. 08-1314), the Supreme Court today reversed a California decision and resuscitated a product liability claim involving the failure to install lap/shoulder-combination seatbelts in a minivan. The Court unanimously held that implied preemption under Geier v. American Honda Motor Co. (2000), was unavailable.
The decision means...Federal Regulations, Schmegulations! THEY STILL CAN SUE YOU!!

Federal Regulation? Schmegulation! No Preemption!
