Quizplus · Accepted Answer

If the tiles were in a defective condition, meaning there was a flaw or issue with their manufacture or design, and this defect was the proximate cause (direct cause) of the damage in the oven, then Ceramics may be liable for the damage. If the tiles were in good condition at the time of sale but became damaged through use, or if they were substantially changed after their sale (such as being modified by Dura-mold), Ceramics would not be liable.
