To hold Canada Clay liable for the damages caused by the roofing tiles, it is necessary to prove that the tiles were defective when they left Canada Clay's hands.

Mishandling by contractors or substantial changes after the sale may not absolve Canada Clay of liability if the tiles were initially defective.
