Publishing — Product Disclaimers

Purdue Extension publications sometimes refer to commercial products. For example, a publication on weed control may refer to one or more kinds of commercial herbicides.

To avoid the appearance of endorsing a particular product or its use, it is appropriate to include a product disclaimer in such publications. Here are two examples:

Example #1

Reference to products in this publication is not intended to be an endorsement to the exclusion of others which may be similar. Persons using such products assume responsibility for their use in accordance with current directions of the manufacturer.

Example #2

The information represented herein is believed to be accurate but is in no way guaranteed. The authors, reviewers, and publishers assume no liability in connection with any use for the products discussed and make no warranty, expressed or implied, in that respect, nor can it be assumed that all safety measures are indicated herein or that additional measures may be required. The user, therefore, must assume full responsibility, both as to persons and as to property, for the use of these materials including any which might be covered by patent.
