Quizplus · Accepted Answer

In order to prove product liability based on negligence, Mal must show that Lawn & Garden did not use due care with respect to the trimmer. This means that the company failed to take reasonable steps to ensure that the product was safe for its intended use. Mal's experience with the product or any contractual relationship with Lawn & Garden are not relevant to this claim. Misrepresentation of a material fact would fall under a different type of product liability claim (such as fraud).
