A defective product can create strict liability for a California manufacturer under the doctrine from Greenman v. Yuba Power Products, Inc., 59 Cal. 2d 57 (1963). That doctrine is why product liability coverage is not optional for any Florin manufacturer, regardless of how small the operation.

How Does California’s Workers’ Compensation System Work?
Under California Labor Code Section 3700, Florin employers are required to carry workers’ compensation coverage, with essentially no exceptions.
The legal exposure behind California’s mandatory system is Section 3700.5: an uninsured Florin employer risks jail time and fines.
See California Labor Code Section 3700 for the coverage requirement and Section 3700.5 for the criminal penalty.
Florin’s Real Manufacturing Base
Florin sits inside the greater Sacramento area’s real food processing and packaging manufacturing economy.
- Sacramento’s food processing and packaging manufacturing base, anchored regionally by Campbell Soup’s real 66-year Sacramento canning legacy and Huhtamaki’s current packaging operations, places Florin’s own manufacturers inside a genuinely large regional supply chain.
- Florin’s position within the greater Sacramento area gives local manufacturers access to the same real supplier and customer network that supports the region’s food and packaging industries.
- Florin was historically the center of the region’s Tokay grape production for nearly a century and one of the most important Japanese American farming communities in Northern California before World War II internment, according to the Florin Historical Society, a real agricultural manufacturing heritage distinct from greater Sacramento.
