Corporate Law Marketing under shared label/liabilities?

[Mary_Wilson]

My jurisdiction is: Washington/ Klickitat county

We have a small agriculture based association with about 12 members at present. We have developed a label which we can all market under. One of our members is concerned that the association, or even members of the association, may be responsible if someone markets something under the label that comes into legal problems (like the salmonella outbreak in peanut butter). We do have members that market meats, dog treats, craft products etc on our web site, but we have just developed the label to give us a unified marketing tool. Is liability for individual members or the association
a concern? Member farms are allowed the label logo at no charge as one of the benefits of being a member. Thanks
Mary

This is a difficult and impossible question to answer here. Yes, there could be some liability but only a full review by a lawyer can help you out. It is facts and circumstances based and chances are if you lead people to believe that you are associated with the product and declare it safe, you could be liable for the impression. That said, you can market yourself in a way where you minimize the risk of liability.
