Answer and Explanation:
In an action based on strict liability, a plaintiff must show that
(1) a product was defective,
(2) the defendant was in the business of distributing the product,
(3) the product was unreasonably dangerous due to the defect,
(4) the plaintiff suffered harm,
(5) the defect was the proximate cause of the harm, and
(6) the goods were not substantially changed from the time they were sold.
A plaintiff does not have to show that there was a failure to exercise due care, and this distinguishes an action based on strict liability from an action based on negligence, which requires proof of a lack of due care. If Bob establishes his case, the court in this problem is most likely to rule in his favor, because the manufacturer is strictly liable in this case. Strict liability allows a plaintiff to recover damages for injuries resulting from product defects without proof of fault.
