2536 REVIEW DENIED An organization that established standards for blood banks did not owe members of the general public a duty to recommend use of suggested measures for reducing the risk of AIDS in transfused blood, particularly in view of a medical and scientific controversy regarding the effectiveness of such measures; the statutory immunity extended to members of a medical peer evaluation group applies to a group that ensures compliance with standards of medical care, but does not apply to a group that establishes standards.CitationNNV v AMERICAN ASSOCIATION OF BLOOD BANKS (Early AIDS Detection) 75 CA4 1358 [See: Rowland v Christian 69 C2 108; REST (2nd) of Torts 324A; FNS v Pacific Gen 24 CA4 1564, T/AT 6/94; CivC 43.7]
