You don't seem to grasp what the legislation actually does. The legislation introduces a risk liability. Which is paired with a lower than normal compensation for damages, because the liability is 'wider'. It requires importers and producers both to be able to prove their product wasn't defective, if a case comes up where it is plausible to question this in court. There are no 'American' punitive damages or very high sums involved in this, unless the issue exceeds the risk based liability and is plain a tort or equivalent violation.
