Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Hank can sue both Alice's Aspirin Inc. and Dahl's Food Stores under strict liability and negligence theories because he was injured by a defective product that was sold by Dahl's and produced by Alice's Aspirin Inc. The fact that Hank was not the original purchaser of the product does not prevent him from pursuing a lawsuit.
