Hi--

without going into long detail--I'm at a real quandry on a couple

issues, and I really need your help.

 

How many of you have put your product(s) thru challenge testing--and

have product liability insurance?

 

At what point in your sales volume did you feel it was 'time'--at the

beginning?....once you hit a certain '$$$ in earnings?

 

I got hit this weekend with a barrage of 'what if's that really have

given me some cause to think about if I want to continue soaping at all.

 

I do have 1 product which is doing great things for everyone whos

using it. One of my customers is really pushing me to market it to

the local cancer treatment center, for what it could do for the

patients suffering from radiation burns. She bought it to use on her

radiation treatment burns, which were several months old, still

painfull, and scaring.

 

She says using my product has taken all the scars away--and so is the

pain. If this really could be of help--I'd be a pretty shitty person

to pull the plug on it----but, on the other hand....what if someone

used it--and then dies---and the family says in part, it's due to my

product--or, that it's otherwise harmed them---gawd, it's such a mess.

 

This morning I was even entertaining the thought of putting this one

product thru testing, then see if there's a company who's willing to

buy & market it so it is available for helping those who could really

benifit from it--without me being the one to suffer if someone got a

twig up the patoot....well, you know what I mean.

 

This has really opened a can of worms up for me.

 

So--I'm polling everyone on these issues--as I really need some good

imput.

 

thanks--

Goody,

 

In this the age of " law suit abuse "

If you put a common sense precaution, and make sure that it's stated that

it's not a medicinal product and use all the legal jargon that one can to

protect themselves from that one person. (Ie you don't make claims that you

can treat or cure anything unless it has been tested and the FDA has

approved it for that specific purpose.) Then you should be safe...

 

If you want to market to cancer centers as a pharmaceutical type cream then

you would have to get the testing done. If your product is that good then

it is worth it. I would definitely take the time to do all the testing etc

If I was going to market to The public enmasse for a specific purpose.

Until you have it tested etc. You cannot make any claims and that is where

cosmetics (IE body lotions) and " medications " (claim they can cure dry skin

or psoriasis or eczema) differ.
