The doctrine described in the question is known as the doctrine of privity. This doctrine stated that only the parties involved in a contract could bring a lawsuit in case of any breach. In the context of product liability, this meant that injured claimants could only sue the manufacturer directly if there was a direct sale between the manufacturer and the injured party. This doctrine was eventually replaced by strict liability laws, which allow injured parties to sue any party in the distribution chain of a defective product.
