Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Fred could successfully sue the manufacturer New Foods Ltd for negligence because the mustard was contaminated when it was made. However, he cannot successfully sue Big Store or DB Distributors Ltd because they did not cause the contamination. Jack may not be liable for negligence because he had no reason to know that the mustard was contaminated when he purchased it. Tad also may not be able to successfully sue Jack for negligence because he was warned by Fred that the sandwich did not taste right.
