It is pretty silly. They could solve the problem by imposing strict liability on dairy sales. If the farmer sells you a pail of raw milk and you get sick from drinking it, that farmer is liable for it, no waivers.

This is often how other dangerous products such as fireworks are regulated. The liability is a cost of doing business.

Strict liability would always apply in that case, if you sell product X for the intent of purpose Y and doing Y with X causes injury then the seller of X is strictly liable.

Strangely enough since raw milk is sold for "dog/animal use" that limits any liability for human consumption since it's explicitly sold for not human consumption.

If I sell motorcycles for the purpose of motorcycling, and motorcycling carries a substantial risk of injury, am I strictly liable?
