Robin Broussard purchased what she believed was a San Juan Capistrano fiberglass swimming pool from Hamilton Pools Inc., an authorized dealer in such pools. Defects appeared after installation, and Broussard discovered that the product she purchased was a "knock-off" manufactured by another company. Broussard sued the manufacturer of genuine San Juan Capistrano swimming pools, American Environmental Container Corporation (AECC), and its licensor, San Juan Products Inc. (SJP), alleging they were liable for the conduct of Hamilton Pools. She argued that because AECC and SJP failed to repudiate the transaction, they therefore ratified it. AECC and SJP neither provided the product involved in the transaction nor accepted any benefit from the transaction. Should AECC and/or SJP be liable?
