Warranty and all the related law essentially came from the lessening of privy - which was started by products liability law, effectively a sort of form of breach of contract.
As for the deregulation laws, some were good, some bad. Look at banking - without the degregulation, the housing room would have been severely lessened. Then again the S&L fraud may have been lessened had the regulation stayed in place. Interestingly, no Pres. since RR has done much to go after trusts - Reno tried against MS - but it was a half a$$ effort IMO.
Interestingly, the tobacco companies are the only ones hit really hard over the last 20 years.
