The most likely claim that Anders would make is that the manufacturer failed to warn him of the dangers of operating an electric radio near water. This claim falls under the legal theory of failure to warn or inadequate warning, which holds the manufacturer responsible for not providing adequate warnings or instructions for the use of their products. Even if it can be argued that Anders should have known not to use an electric device near water, the manufacturer still has a duty to provide clear and adequate warnings to prevent such accidents.
