Not totally accurate. There isn't much uncertainty in the law, but rather whether you broke it. Plaintiff has the burden of proof. And while there may not be a specific statute spelling out liability, case law has equal wait in the US.

Here is an example. This is a common 3 part test used to decide whether a manufacturer is liable for failure to warn:

1. Manufacturer had actual knowledge of the alleged danger

2. Manufacturer had no reason to know that consumers would know of this danger.

3. Manufacturer failed to exercise reasonable care to inform customers of the danger.

...case law has equal weight in the US.

That is what I meant to express, and I stand corrected on the details.
