The article discusses how the market share liability can be used in cases of mass product liability tort when the specific wrongdoer is unknown. It suggests that market share liability is a type of alternative liability, where plaintiffs can't sue all defendants. The study shows that market share liability is similar to joint risk, and legal systems that accept joint risk should consider using market share liability.
