Quizplus · Accepted Answer

To win a product liability case based on strict liability, Ty must prove that the product (in this case, the ladder) was in a defective condition at the time it was sold by Steps & Rungs. The focus is on the condition of the product, not on the actions of the manufacturer or the specific relationship between the manufacturer and the consumer.
