Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Strict liability imposes liability on manufacturers and sellers of a defective product regardless of fault. One of the key requirements for strict liability is that the user or consumer has not bought the defective product from or entered into any contractual relation with the seller. Therefore, option D is the correct answer. Option A is not correct because it is irrelevant whether the seller is engaged in the business of selling the type of product that was found to be defective. Option B is also irrelevant because strict liability applies regardless of whether the product undergoes substantial change. Option C is not correct because strict liability applies only when the product is defective at the time of sale.
