Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The action figures have a defect in design because they come with detachable weapons that can be easily swallowed by children between the ages of one and two. This defect makes the product dangerous and unsuitable for children of that age, and therefore the manufacturer will be strictly liable for any injuries caused.
