Question

Dandy Goods, Inc. manufactures exercise equipment, including stationary bicycles. Julie, a consumer, buys a Dandy bicycle and years later sells it at a garage sale to Paula, a neighbor. Paula is injured while using the bicycle. In a product liability suit based on strict liability, Paula may recover from:_________

Answer 1

Answer:

Dandy Goods

Explanation:

Strict liability doctrine establishes that any person or company involved in the design, manufacture or distribution of defective merchandise can be liable for any injury resulting from using the defective product. In strict liability cases, the actions that the defendants take to prevent injuries do not count, only that the injury happened due to a product's defect. In order to be liable in a strict liability case, the defendant must manufacture, sell or rent the product in a regular basis. This is why Julie is not liable, because she doesn't sell stationary bicycles on a regular basis.
