      Is the seller supposed to be liable for fact checking every non fiction book they sell? Seems like it would be the author and publisher to be sued. The retailer can’t be expected to know the accuracy of all the books they sell.

          No. If wal mart’s pharmacy sold pills that made people sick, it would not be the pharmacies fault at all. They aren’t liable to test the pills to make sure they are what the manufacturer claims they are.

          That’s actually happened several times over the years and a pharmacy has never been found liable. It always falls back to the manufacturer. What exactly do you think a pharmacy does? Seems you don’t know a lot.

              I literally just told you that it has worked out in court. Do you think wal mart, target, and cvs got in trouble last year when a company in India sold them bacteria tainted eye drops? Of course not. That would be as dumb as you are dense. A retailer is not responsible for shady shit that other companies do.
