After the Tincher decision was handed down by the Pennsylvania Supreme Court in 2014, the civil instructions subcommittee of the Pennsylvania Supreme Court committee for proposed standard jury instructions drafted suggested standard civil jury instructions for products liability cases which were then published by the Pennsylvania Bar Institute (PBI).

The post-Tincher jury instructions drafted by the subcommittee were quickly criticized by members of the defense bar who felt that the language in the instructions was not entirely consistent with the law laid down in Tincher. In a touch of irony, it may be said that members of the defense bar view these suggested jury instructions on products liability cases as being defective.
