Suing foreign corporations, important I think

[sandnsea]

Somebody else just made a short post about Chiron manufacturing flu shots abroad. Speculated it was to avoid taxes.

Wrong. It was to avoid law suits, which they would have had if contaminated vaccines had gotten into the US.

US companies can't be sued by foreign countries. That was the Kerry Amendment that got defeated in the last trade bill.

So US countries are free from law suits all over the world, that's why they move their factories overseas.

And I have no idea what the law is for us, when we are harmed by an import.

Does this make sense? Anybody know what US law is on US citizens suing foreign manufacturers?

Does this blow the whole law suit argument right out of the water?

Or am I just seriously lacking in sleep?
