Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The liability falls on Multilever Machines as they manufactured the defective radiator. Wilson and Fastfix Repairs can argue that they were not aware of the defect and therefore cannot be held fully responsible. John may also argue that he did not know about the defect and relied on the expertise of Wilson and Fastfix Repairs, but ultimately the manufacturer should be held liable for defects in their products.
