1995In Gunderson v. Sani-Kem Corp., 674 S.W.2d 665, 668 (Mo.App.1984), this court held: The word “sells” within the Restatement rule [Rest.2d Torts, Sec. 402A] of strict liability is merely descriptive, and the test for determining the applicability of the rule is not the sale of the product, but rather the placing thereof in commerce.

2023As discussed in Wieland, the Restatement’s rule is phrased in terms of “knows or has reason to know.” Such a standard “creates no duty of care on the part of the business to preemptively discover the facts in question;” rather, the duty arises “only after the business has information from which a reasonable actor would infer those facts.” 540 S.W.3d at 848-49 (emphasis added). 5 See also Hudson v. Riverport Performing Arts Centre, 37 S.W.3d 261, 263, 265 (Mo. App. E.D. 2000) (holding no duty to protect a patron from the criminal acts of a third party because no defendant – either the security

2010The Restatement rule is consistent with Missouri law. “[T]he general rule in Missouri is that attorneys’ fees are recoverable only when a statute specifically authorizes recovery or when attorneys’ fees are provided for by contract.” Essex Contracting, Inc. v. Jefferson County, 277 S.W.3d 647, 657 (Mo. banc 2009).

2006There is no evidence to suggest or support any relationship between Plaintiffs and the Defendant. iii) Consideration of Factors in § 6(2) of the Restatement Our inquiry, however, cannot end with just the consideration of the type and number of contacts identified in §§ 175 and 145 in Chapter 7 (Wrongs) of the Restatement. 7 “[I]t is not the number of contacts which determines the choice of law but which state — when those contacts are considered in the perspective of Restatement (Second) § 6 choice of law principles — has the most significant relationship to the occurrence and parties, and so
