摘要

自2004年以来，已有25个州通过了《常识消费法案》(CCAs)，以保护食品工业免受因肥胖相关健康危害而引起的民事责任。这些法律还在继续出台。cca通常被称为“侵权改革”。在本文中，我们对所有25个州法律的内容进行了系统分析，发现cca的潜在影响远远超出了与肥胖相关的侵权改革，限制了州总检察长(AGs)的权力，并对AGs、个人和消费者阶层的未来法定消费者保护索赔进行了重大改革。此外，每个CCA州都有预先存在的法律保护措施，以防止无聊的诉讼——这大大削弱了CCA支持者的论点。

Beyond cheeseburgers: the impact of commonsense consumption acts on future obesity-related lawsuits.

Since 2004, 25 states have passed Commonsense Consumption Acts (CCAs) to shield the food industry from civil liability for claims arising from obesity-related health harms. These laws continue to be introduced. CCAs have generally been discussed in terms of "tort reform." For this article, we conducted a systematic analysis of the content of all 25 state laws and found that the potential impact of CCAs goes well beyond obesity-related tort reform to limits on state Attorney General (AGs) authority and significant reforms to future statutory consumer protection claims by AGs, individuals and classes of consumers. Moreover, every CCA state had pre-existing legal protections against frivolous litigation-greatly undercutting arguments made by CCA proponents.
