Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Custom Ceramics would be liable if the tiles sold to Duramold were in a defective condition that was the proximate cause of the damage, meaning that the damage occurred as a direct result of the defect in the product. If the tiles were in perfect condition at the time of sale and were damaged by their use or if they were substantially changed after their sale, liability would not be imposed on Custom Ceramics.
